You have two options:

 

1. If you weren't a dependent any more, you'll have to mail in your tax return since your Social Security Number was used on the tax return your mom e-filed.

  • Your return will take longer to process by the IRS.
  • Your mom may get a letter from the IRS requesting proof that you are her dependent.
  • You might also get a letter from the IRS.

2. If you were your mom's dependent, revisit the Personal Info section of TurboTax and answer that you are a dependent and you're being claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. You'll then be able to e-file your return since your return is for a dependent.
