I got the email that my return was rejected because "'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked, then the Primary SSN must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return filed for the same tax year." When I click through to fix it the website skips past skipping my federal return to the state return, which was rejected due to the federals rejection. My question is really dumb but I just can't find it, where to change the selection so that it knows another person has claimed me as a dependent. I tried going through every step of the federal return but I couldn't find it. I need the answer to be as specific as possible so I can find the correct place.

That post does not tell me where to find the option I need to change, because my social security number is correct. I just need to make that I'm being claimed as a depending by someone else.
You can change this in the interview section of the return. If you’re filing your own taxes, but could be claimed as a dependent on another person’s return (your parent or caregiver, for example), you have to indicate this on your tax return–even if they’re not claiming you.
Here’s how to modify your personal information if you have not selected the dependency data initially:
