After you file

The IRS does not see you as a dependent.

 

You claimed yourself on your tax return and your mother will not be able to claim you as a dependent.

 

You will have to amend your tax return so that you are not claiming yourself.  The paper 1040 Amended tax return takes four to eight weeks to be processed.

 

Then you mother can file and claim you as a dependent on her tax return.
