You are eligible based on your income for EIC even if you do not have a dependent.  The upper age limit of 65 for receiving EIC was removed for tax year 2021 only.

Turbotax won't give you EIC if you aren't eligible.  The rules have changed recently.  The amount of EIC and the income cut off are very different if you have no dependents, but you still qualify for something if turbotax says so.
