    Whether or not you filed as Head-of-Household or not, you claimed yourself as a dependent which means that your mom cannot also claim you on her 2016 income taxes.  If you already filed your taxes, I would recommend that you amend your return, which you can do for free using TurboTax in mid-February, and change your tax filing status to Single. When you amend, you will be given the opportunity to either claim yourself as a dependent or allow your mom to claim you by checking the box Someone Else Can Claim Me as a Dependent, in the Personal Info tab of your program.
