How do I fix my 1040 and select that I was claimed by a parent?

I filed my taxes, I am 16, but it was rejected bc apparently I did not select that I was a dependent claimed on another tax return (my moms) how do I fix this error?

Go to MY INFO.  Click your name.   Go through the screens for the question that asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent.  Say YES.
