It would be best to wait for the corrected W-2 form but maybe not absolutely necessary. You can try adding the social security tax that should have been withheld in box 4 (.062 x wages in box 3) and see if it affects your tax refund or amount due. If not, then you could remove the entry so you are reporting the W-2 the way it was issued and then file your tax return.
If your tax does not change when you enter the withheld tax, then you wouldn't need to amend your return when you get the corrected W-2 form.
Your social security and Medicare tax withheld is reported directly to the Social Security Administration from your W-2 form, so filing your tax return without the tax withheld will not affect your social security account.
