Please see the information provided here for assistance with your husband's incorrect W-2 form. If you receive a corrected Form W-2 after you filed your return, and the information differs from the information reported on your return, you must amend your return by filing Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

If the IRS does not reject the return and nothing else is different but the SS number on the W-2, I would not amend it.
