Why don't I qualify for the California Earned Income Tax credit? I read all of the requirements and it looks like I meet them.

Here are my details: I earned approximately $20,000 in W-2 wages in California I lived in California for the entire year I am over 18 years old I am being claimed as a dependent on someone else’s federal return I am not filing Form 2555 or 2555-EZ I have no qualifying children As I understand it, CalEITC eligibility allows dependents to claim the credit, even if they are ineligible for the federal EITC. Could you please help me confirm how to correct this?
