THEN you need to file an amended return, called a 1040X, to change the way you answered that question in Personal Info about whether you can be claimed as someone else’s dependent.

Meanwhile, do NOT try to change anything on your return or you will make the problem worse. First, you will have to wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects your return - the IRS will not even begin processing returns until January 23, so you have a few weeks to wait.
