If your mother didn't claim you and you want to claim yourself, you will first need to wait until the IRS fully processes your return and you receive your refund. 

Next, you will need to Amend your Tax Return by filing Form 1040-X to claim yourself on your Tax Return.  

You can click here for instructions on Amending your tax return: How to Change a Tax Return You Already Filed.  TurboTax will walk you through Amending your State Tax as well.

The 2018 Form 1040-X is estimated to be available February 14, 2019.  You can click here for information on IRS Forms Availability.

Note: You SHOULD NOT make any changes on your return in TurboTax until this form becomes available.
