E-Filed with incorrect address

I just E-Filed my return for 2019 and noticed my address was incorrect in a couple of ways.  I own a home that was also my mailing address in 2019, but I moved in order to renovate so my mailing address was updated.

 

The error on the tax return looks like this:  the address is to the home I am renovating (instead of my updated mailing address), but also has the "City" of my updated mailing address.  Some sort of automatic browser form-fill thing happened. 

 

I requested my refund be direct deposited in my bank account so there will be no physical check by mail.  Should I do anything or simply wait?

If you need to change your address, follow the instructions in the IRS tax topic at the link below.

@Anonymous_ ,

The address on file with the IRS (Address 

A

) is correct and has been for a long time.  That address is for the home I am RENTING while I renovate the home I own (Address 

B

) .

 

I accidentally E-filed my 2019 return with the address of the other home (

B

), except the CITY in that address is also incorrect.

 

At this point I'm hoping that it won't cause an issue since my refund is set for Direct Deposit, but I have no idea how returns are processed when the IRS receives them. 

 

Thank you for the response.
