Solved

Hello, on my tax return I indicated that someone else would be claiming me, but when my mother (who also used turbotax) tried to claim me, it said she couldn't.

Best answer by PatriciaR

To prevent fraudulent returns, the IRS will only accept each dependent's SSN once in their e-file system. Because you filed first and used your SSN, no further e-files using that SSN will be accepted. Your Mother will need to print, sign, and mail in her tax return to the IRS. Her return will be accepted if she paper files.
