Deductions & credits

If your 19 and 21 year old children are full-time students you can still get the $500 credit for other dependents for them.  You do not get the child tax credit for a child older than 16.    If they are not full-time students but they had less than $4700 of income of their own, you can claim them and get that same $500 credit for other dependents.
