After you file

If you are under 19 (or under 24 and a full-time student), your parents can claim you no matter what your income is. 

 

If you are over 19 and not a student, then the income limit is $4,200 as a 'Qualifying Relative' so your parents would not be able to claim you with your income. 

 

If they are entitled to claim you, it doesn't affect your return whether they do so or not, but it may affect your parents return.

If they are not entitled to claim you, you can Amend your Return and mail it in after you receive your Refund.. 

 

This link gives detailed instructions on How to Amend a 2019 Return (including whether you should Amend or not).
