If you already submitted your return to the IRS, and they accepted it, then you will just need to sit tight and wait for their response. If you are getting a refund, you can always check the status of it using the IRS tool Where's my refund?
If your return gets rejected, this would be an opportunity to correct the W2 information before correcting the rejection and submitting the return again.
It is possible that they will catch your error and your return may be put in review, which would delay any refund due you. They may mail you a letter explaining that they adjusted your return and will give you a different refund/balance due. Bear in mind too that the IRS will only mail letters and will not contact you by phone, text, or email.
If they don't catch the error, wait until you have received your refund in your bank account before you amend your return.
