Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Nothing wrong with what you are doing.  Locking the number is a precaution the IRS uses to help prevent identify theft.  You are entitled to file jointly and that would be your only other option to e-file.  You could then wait until that return is completely processed and file an amended return by mail.  Or, you can simply print and file this return by mail.
