Thank you so much for taking time to answer. Client had earned income in 2019 more than 2021 but had been an other dependent in parents return. Can I use lookback rule and put 2019 earned income for client if supposed to file for 2021 return individually? Client age is 25.

Yes.  There is no restriction about being a former dependent.
