After you file

You will have to change the way you answered the question in My Info when it asked you if you could be claimed as someone else's dependent.   However, since you already e-filed and made this mistake, your mother cannot e-file this year.   She will have to print, sign and mail her own return in order to claim you as a dependent.  Even if you amend, your amended return will not catch up in the system this year in order for her to e-file.   She can only file by mail now.   Make sure she knows that.
