If you answered incorrectly in MY INFO when it asked if someone else can claim you as a dependent, then when you amend you will need to go to MY INFO and change the way you answered that question and say YES that someone else can claim you. As for your parents, if your incorrect tax return prevented them from e-filing, they have no other choice now except to file their return by mail. E-filing for 2024 is permanently closed. Your amended return must be filed by mail.
Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
