The number of kids you can claim on your taxes as dependents varies based on the eligibility criteria set by the tax authorities in your jurisdiction. In the United States, for example, you can claim a dependent child on your tax return if they meet certain criteria, including that they are under the age of 19 at the end of the year or under the age of 24 if they are a full-time student, they did not provide over half of their own support, and they lived with you for more than half the year. There is no specific limit on the number of children you can claim as dependents.
