Mistake on filed return prior to filing deadline

Yikes...,  I cant believe I overlooked accounting for some social security income on our joint return!  Rather than a tax refund it appears I will owe the IRS money!  On top of that my incorrect return was accepted by the IRS.  My biggest concern is what should I do and when?  Should I submit an amended return now, prior to the filing date, or should I wait a couple weeks for the letter to come from the IRS before I file the amended return?  I am sure the IRS will see that I haven't accounted for my social security benefit, but there is the probability that the IRS will deposit cash into our account (e-file) I am not due.
