The IRS will reject the return if they cannot verify him which probably won't happen. They verify the last name to the social security number. If they accept the return you are good to go and do not need to worry. If rejected you can go back in and edit the Personal Info section where his name is located. As for now wait a few hours and see if they can verify him since the return has already been sent to the IRS.
