After you file

If your mother has already filed you as a dependent for 2019, then there is not much you could do. Any attempt by you to file an individual return now will get rejected by the IRS. You may want to have your mother amend her taxes which will take another 12 to 15 weeks to get processed as she will now be mailing her return. After, you could then file your own individual return. I know that defeats the purpose but that's the complication of amending and you refiling.
