You have to file an amendment, which is going to take a long time.   If your aunt is claiming you, she will need to file by mail if her return is rejected.   Or, she can file an extension now and wait until your amendment is filed and processed to file her taxes.   

 

Follow the instructions here to amend your tax return.
