Mistakes happen, and the IRS has a special form to correct them that is fairly easy to file in TurboTax. When you login to TurboTax, navigate to your 2019 tax return under "Your tax returns & documents" and then select the option "Amend/(change) return".
This will help you to prepare Form 1040X to indicate that you were not eligible to be claimed as a dependent.
Amended returns are filed by mail and typically take 8-12 weeks to process. Processing times right now are significantly delayed due to reductions in staff.
It is not known if, upon processing, an advance payment will be sent.
Any taxpayer whose advance payment received is less than the full payment for which he or she is entitled, will be eligible to claim the difference as a credit on the 2020 tax return filed in 2021.
