If you have already filed and claimed yourself, you can't be claimed again.   You can only be claimed on one tax return per year.   If you did not mean to claim yourself, the person who is supposed to claim you will have to file by mail.   And then you have to go back and amend your return to ''unclaim'' yourself.   

 

Or you can file an extension for whoever you are filing for - file your amendment to ''unclaim'' yourself.   And then once that is processed, go back and e-file the return of the persona who was supposed to claim you.
