There is no way to edit a tax return that you have e-filed. (Which is why you should not rush to e-file). It will remain in "pending" on the server until the IRS begins to accept and reject returns at the end of January. Sit tight and see if your return is accepted or rejected. If they reject it later in the month you will be able to make corrections. If it accepted, we do not know yet if the IRS will catch this mistake or if you will have to go through the process to amend your return a few months from now.
