I filed my taxes but one of my dependents has filed also . Will the irs automatically fix it or do I need to amend my taxes and take that dependent off

The irs has excepted my return

If your return was accepted, yours will be processed with the dependent you claimed.   If your dependent made a mistake and said they cannot be claimed, then their e-file will be rejected.   When it rejects they can go to MY INFO and change the way they answered the question as to whether someone else can claim them.

Can you please clarify. Did both returns got accepted by the IRS? 

Sometimes you can claim a dependent over 18 that is a full time student and that you still provide more than 50% of their own support, and then the dependent will still file their own Tax Return "as a dependent of another return". If this was the case, it is totally acceptable and you do not need to take any further action. 

If you included that dependent on your return, and the person tried to file their own separate taxes (not as a dependent) it will get rejected by the IRS. You will then need to file an amended return to remove that person, and your dependent will need to submit his/her own taxes by paper, as it will not let them file electronically.
