Do i need to file my California state taxes if i had no state income tax on my income?

I am claimed as a dependent and my income was under $2000.

State tax filing

Most likely, no.  The California filing requirements for residents that are claimed as dependents is if your income exceeds your standard deduction.  For dependents, the minimum standard deduction if $1,050 while the highest is $4,044 if filing a single return.  This amount is based on your earned income up to the maximum deduction.

For California filing requirements, please see the link below.
