Your mom can't be a dependent on your return if she has already filed a tax return. You can remove her off your return and you will be able to e-file.
If she did not file a return or erroneously filed a return, you can claim her, but you will have to file by mail. You won't be able to e-file with her on your return. And if you file by mail and keep her as a dependent, she will need to file an amendment to ''unclaim'' herself.
