How many children can you claim for earned income credit and child tax credit

[macuser_22]

No limit for the child tax credit.  The limiting factor is your tax liability which the credit lowers, but only until it reaches zero.   The credit is $1,000 peer child, but if you only have a tax liability of $1,500, for example, then that would be all would get.   However, you might qualify for the additional child tax credit if your income is within certain limits.

For the EIC the maximum is three qualifying children dependents.
