Are there any age limits on the earned income tax credit?
No. Eligibility for the earned income tax credit is based on income, not age. The amount of the credit varies with the number of qualifying children you have. A modest credit applies even if you have no such child; the credit amount (and the income limits for eligibility) scales up for one child, two, children, or three or more children.

Exemption
A fixed deduction allowed to every taxpayer, except those who may be claimed as a dependent by another person. Extra exemption deductions are allowed for a spouse on a joint return and for each qualifying dependent. A deduction of $3,400 is allowed for each exemption claimed on 2007 returns, but the deduction is phased out for certain high income individuals.
