Since he is a full time student under the age of 24 and does not provide for over one-half of his own support you should be able to claim him as a dependent under the Qualifying Child rules if he meets all the other requirements.
To be a Qualifying Child -
1. The child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them.
2. The child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year, (b) under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student or (c) any age and permanently and totally disabled.
3. The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year. Temporary absences while away at college are considered living with you.
4. The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.
5. If the child meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, you must be the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.
6. The child must be a U.S. citizen or U.S., Canada or Mexico resident for some portion of the year.
7. The child must be younger than you unless disabled.
If you claim him as your dependent under the Qualifying Child rules then any education expenses for him will be entered on your tax return for the AOC.
You would be eligible for the EIC with him as your child if you qualify for the credit based on your income and filing status. Go to this IRS website that has the EIC tables for tax year 2024 - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned...
