No, there's no easy fix for this issue. You aren't going to be able to e-file this year with this dependent.
For example, if your teenage child filed a tax return and claimed themselves, you won't be able to e-file a return with them on it this year, even if they amend their return.
So, your options are:
If you claim a dependent that someone else claimed too, the IRS will decide who should to claim that dependent. If you have always claimed this dependent in the past, they are very likely to just accept that this is your dependent.
If it isn't that clear, the IRS may ask you for more proof that this is your dependent.
