Why is the EIC not counted if my AIG is just under the two child limit of $46,703. My oldest was 18 at the end of 2019, both my children lived with me all year so I am unsure why I am not receiving this credit.

You can use this interactive IRS tool to see if your income works for EIC:

And do not confuse EIC with the child tax credit. You cannot get CTC for an 18 year old--you lost the CTC when he turned 17. Now you can get the $500 credit for other dependents for him.
Look at your 2019 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received
