Based on what you’re saying, the government sees you as a dependent.
While working through the TurboTax interview for your tax return, if you checked that your parents or someone else could claim you as a dependent on their return, then the government considers you a dependent, whether or not someone else claimed you on their return.
If you’re not someone else’s dependent, you can amend your return.
Please see the TurboTax Help article "How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed" for instruction on how to amend your previously-filed tax return.
You should wait to file your amended return until you get any refund you may have coming from your original return. Even if your original return has been accepted by the IRS, it's still possible that the IRS could change your refund or balance due on that return.
