Amend my return before receiving refund?

I filed my taxes ahead of time and just received two forms for my former brokerage (I had switched from Folio to Fidelity in the middle of 2022). I received Forms 1099 (summary) and 8949 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets). How do I go about submitting an amendment? Should I wait until I get my refund first (IRS already accepted my e-file)?
