My mom's return was rejected because I forgot to click a box saying she could claim me. Can I file something for her to get her not rejected?

You will have to amend your tax return to change your dependency status.

You mom can only print and mail her tax return with you as a dependent since the IRS has already received a tax return with your Social Security number and not being claimed as a dependent.
