It sounds like you answered a question incorrectly in MY INFO; go back to MY INFO, click your name and go through the questions again. When it asks if anyone else can claim you as a dependent, if you cannot be claimed make sure you say NO on that screen.

You may have accidently marked that someone else can claim you as a dependent.

Here’s how to modify your personal information if you have selected the dependency data initially using TurboTax Online/Mobile:

Go to the Personal profile screen and under your name, select Revisit.

Continue until you reach the Let's check for some other situations screen.

Scroll down if the box is checked that Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return, uncheck it.

Continue.
