Need to Allow Parents to Claim Me

I am having trouble finding where to put my parents CAN claim me as dependent. I accidentally claimed myself but since I was a student they can claim me also. I found the IRS form 1040x that I need to fill out, but where on the actual form do I correct this? I don't see it anywhere on the form or in the instructions.

Go to MY INFO, click your name, and go to the question that asked if you can be claimed as someone else’s dependent.  The answer needs to be YES.

See the screenshot I posted at the end of this thread

Why can't I mark myself as being able to be claimed on someone else's taxes?

 

Did your parents return reject?  They will have to mail their return even if you amend.  So they don't have to wait.
