It can be hard to tell. It seems not, but you can't always know what the writer meant (unless the next line says something like "12 and up" so you would know).
I prefer when it's clear by saying something like "Up to and including 12 years of age" or "12 years old and under" so you have no doubt.

I would say no in the general case.
This tax credit can be taken for children up to 12 years of age.
It sounds to me that you lose the tax credit when your child turns 12.
