The return is showing that I am being claimed as a dependent when I told the system that I wasn't

To check your entry in your return, click Personal Info tab, and click edit next to the first section of your personal information. Scroll down to 3. A few other things we need to know and the first questions asks if "Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their return" you'll need to change your answer to No.

I have the same issue in getting correct personal exemptions in 2016 TurboTax. Filing married jointly with 3 dependents, line 42 of 1040 form only shows 2 x $4,050 instead of 5 x $4,050. All 3 dependents fulfilled the dependent test. I checked "No" in "Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their return" for all 3 dependents! I had no issue in same personal exemptions calculations in the past 10 years' version of TurboTax. I always got 5x personal exemptions in the past. Is it some bugs need to be fixed?
