Did you say you could not be claimed as someone else’s dependent, but it turns out your parent(s) can claim you?  Now your parents’ return is being rejected when they e-file, or it will be rejected.  That means your parents must print, sign, and mail their return.  

 

Or----in order to e-file they can try getting IP PIN's

 

GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return

Your part in fixing this is to wait until your return has been fully processed and you have received you refund.  THEN you need to file an amended return, called a 1040X, to change the way you answered that question in My  Info about whether you can be claimed as someone else’s dependent.
