Yes, if you originally claimed yourself as not being a dependent on somebody else's tax return, you can amend it to indicate that you can; however, the other person can't claim you and E-file until your amended return is fully processed by the IRS. Their return will be rejected.
They can mail it, but it'll result in a letter from the IRS to both you requesting information regarding your filing status. (Yo should still do the amended return).
TurboTax will be available to process amended returns for 2025 in late February of 2026.
TurboTax provides a list of Tax form availability for individual Federal and State returns forms that are being revised.
