Deductions & credits
Are you confusing the child tax credit with earned income credit? They are not the same thing--they are two different credits. If your child turned 17 in 2017, then you do not get the child tax credit. But you can still claim your child as a dependent and be eligible for the earned income credit.
Look at your tax return to see the child-related /dependent credits you received:
Child Tax Credit 1040A line 35 1040 line 49
Additional Child Tax Credit 1040A line 43 1040 line 67
Child & Dependent Care Credit 1040A line 31 1040 line 49
Earned Income Credit 1040A line 42a 1040 line 66a
The children you listed as your dependents will appear on line 6c
