EITC for disabled child

janicew67 — Sat, 18 Jan 2020 02:10:49 GMT

I just filed as head of household and I have a disabled child who will be 18 next month and is in school, I did not get the EITC or state credit. The system alerted me the child is over 18 and not eligable. I have already submitted e-file

You misunderstood. You lose the child tax credit in the year that your child turns 17. If your child is 18 you get a different credit for him and you can still get earned income credit for him too--assuming your income qualifies for EIC.
