If someone else claimed you as a dependent already, then your e-filed return will be rejected. Print, sign and mail your own return on which you claim yourself. Mailed returns are processed differently by the IRS. It will take some time (maybe even up to a year) but eventually the IRS will contact both parties and sort out who could rightfully claim the dependent. The person who wrongfully claimed the dependent will face repayment of refund $, plus penalties.
