Deductions & credits
You cannot get EIC for more than three children even if you have a fourth (or more) child. The limit is three.
As for the child tax credit----we do not know why you did not receive it. If you entered the children correctly as dependents on your 2021 tax return you should be getting CTC for all four children.
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question. Make sure you did not say their Social Security numbers were not valid for employment. That will mess it up.
EIC is on line 27a of your Form 1040
The child tax credit should be on line 28 of your Form 1040.
