If this is a simple case of having missed the EIC on your return as originally file, you can amend a return for up to 3 years from the due date of the original return plus extensions. You have until October 15th , 2011 to file an amended return for 2007 but the filing window has closed on anything older than that.

However, this question requires a bit more information for that to be the only answer. If someone else claimed your children and took the Earned Income Credit on their return, you will not be able to claim it on an amended return unless you want to stir up a big stink with the IRS and the other person--they would have to file an amendment to "unclaim" the children and pay back the amount their tax bill was reduced by the EIC, etc. I would advise that if this is anything other than an omission on your return as originally filed that you work with a qualified tax preparer to address all the potential issues this could raise.
