After you file
Sorry--you messed up. You cannot file multiple tax returns. You should have waited for all of your information put it all on the same tax return. But you filed a tax return to get the child tax credit and did not wait for your W-2's. Now you have to wait for that first return to be fully processed. Then in late February/mid March at the earliest, you will need to use a Form 1040X to amend your first tax return and enter all of the income from those W-2's. The 1040X is not yet available---so wait for it.
Oh...and change your return back to exactly the way it looked when you filed it originally. You have to be able to work from it as it looked when you filed it a few weeks ago. Un-do any changes you made or it will be a mess when you try to amend.
