You state your parents did not get the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) with you as a qualifying child so that test is passed.
Next, you can qualify for the EITC if you are age 19 or older unless you are a specified student. A specified student is:
A person who is enrolled in a program that leads to a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential and carried at least one-half the normal workload for your course of study during at least 5 calendar months of the year or an academic period if longer.
If you are a specified student you must be at age 24.
The IRS doesn't know if you are a specified student; only your age and income and therefore you could be eligible based on the information they have.
