Form 3531 for year 2021

I got the form 3531 for the year 2020.  I realized I did the same thing for this year too.  Can I go ahead and send a signed return for this year along with the W2s or should I wait to get a 3531 in the mail for 2021.  I'm not sure how this will effect my 1040 X I filed last month for 2021.  I figured if I could fix my error before getting a notice would help.  Thanks for any insight.

Wait ... if you try to file a "fix" before the IRS is ready for one you can gum up the works even worse.

Thank you!  I guess sometimes being proactive isn't for the best.  I'll file my 2020 and wait for my 2021.  At least when I get the next form, I won't freak out about it.
