There is no need to amend your return. The IRS matches the names to what is on record with the Social Security Administration. 

As long as your return was accepted, you are fine.

IF YOU HAVE NOT FILED YOUR RETURN, you can just select the Personal Info tab and change the name in that section.

It is not save to publish real names in a public forum.
