If you don't qualify as a dependent on their return, you need to file your return by mail. If you e-file, your return will be rejected.
Later on the IRS will send you a letter stating that you were claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. Your parent will receive the same letter. If you can proof that you don't qualify as a dependent on your parents return they will have to amend their return.
