have you and your parents already filed your returns? If so do you mean that they claimed you and you didn't mark that "someone else can claim me as a dependent?" And, if filed have the returns been accepted or rejected?

I accidentally checked that I can claim myself. My parents can not e-file now because they are claiming me as a dependent. My return has been processed and I am awaiting my return. My understanding is that I have to amend my return once processed in order for my parents to claim me.
