My taxes were rejected by ind-516-02, but my parents shouldn’t have put me on their taxes at all. How do I fix it while still filing as an independent?

I made a little over $16,000 and I’m not sure who to contact or how to fix it. And I only have a day or two to fix it.

If your parents claimed you they need to amend their return. But even if they amend that won't release your ssn.  You will have to print and mail your return.  Once a ssn has been filed you can't efile it again even if they amend.
