Claiming as a dependent

Hi,

 

I have a quick question. So, when I first filed my taxes, I accidentally did not check the dependent box, and my tax return got filed as an independent. Whereas my parents filed me as their dependent. My parents' tax return got rejected because of it. 

 

I just amended my tax return after receiving the amount, and put myself as the dependent. However, seems like it would take some time for my amended tax return to be included in the system. My parents tried redoing their taxes, but it got rejected again, because I think my amended tax return needs time to get uploaded. 

 

What should we do? Can my parents remove me as a dependent and file their taxes? Will it affect my newly amended tax return? 

 

I would be grateful for the help!

 

Thanks.
