EIC is based on the amount of earned income you have, your filing status, and the number of dependents you claim. It can go down if your income goes up or goes down depending on what your income was last year. It can go down if you are claiming fewer children.

Child tax credit is a non refundable credit that you receive for claiming dependents under the age of 17 who have social security numbers. It can be up to $2000 per child.

Earned income credit is a credit for taxpayers who have earned income from $1 up to maximum amounts depending on filing status and number of children. You apparently qualify for both credits.

Thank you
