No, California has the same qualifications for dependents as the federal.
The dependents you claim on your California return are usually the same as those you claim on your federal return.
You can claim a California dependent only if you meet the following conditions:
-The person is eligible to be your federal dependent.
-You didn't claim them so they could get a tax break for education expenses on their own federal return.
