I was claimed as a dependent on another tax return and it was supposed to be 2 separate claims how can I fix this?

clarify what you mean by two separate claims?   you can be claimed only on one taxpayer's return for any tax year. this can be your own return but in this case, you're the taxpayer, not a dependent.     who takes you depends on the rules for qualifying child or if that fails qualifying relative.   there one other provision. no one can claim you as a dependent if on your own return you properly claim someone else as a dependent.  

the rules:

you can be claimed as a qualifying child if all these tests are met

• you have the same principal abode as the other party for more than ½ the tax year.  Temporary absences like for school are ignored
• If not a full-time student, under 19 at the end of the tax year.  If a full-time student under 24 at the end of the tax year.  
• you haven't provided over ½ your own support
• you didn't file a joint return unless there was no tax liability but merely filing joint to facilitate refund of taxes withheld or estimates paid

if not, then you can be claimed as a qualifying relative if all these tests are met

• your gross income for 2019 less than $4,200
• the other party provided over ½ your support
• you aren't a qualifying child of another taxpayer
• you’re related or if not you lived with the other party for the entire year

Two separate claims as in he files his own and I file for myself. Not him claim me. I shouldn't be a dependent on another person's tax return

If you are being ejected because your SS# was already used and you cannot be claimed as a dependent then YOU will need to MAIL in your return this year no exceptions.

Then the other person who should not have claimed you needs to mail in an AMENDED return to remove you  ... this doesn't need to be done before you mail in your return.

You were given the answer.  You have to print and mail your own tax return. 

It cannot be e-filed because the IRS has already received a tax return with your name and Social Security number as a dependent.
