Yes, you should wait until your refund is issued before making any changes to your return. If you do not, it could cause confusion with the IRS and delay the process of filing and correcting the return. The IRS is slowly working through the returns with the EICT and the CTC. There is no logical reason why your son's return may have been processed, and yours has not. Some returns are just reviewed longer than others. All electronically filed returns are sent through a validity check and run for errors. If the IRS finds any during the validity check, it will be rejected and sent back to you to correct. If this happens, the return will be opened back up in TurboTax for you to make changes. This would also be an excellent time to correct the childcare provider's SSN. For now, you should continue to wait and check the status daily on the IRS tracker.
