Yes you can--and must if you meet the requirements--file even though your mom claimed you. You will not be able to claim your own personal exemption ($3650 for 2010) but will still get the standard deduction of $5700. If your income is below that amount you may still want to file to get a refund of any Federal or State tax withheld.
