FIRST NAME SPELLED WRONG ON RETURN I SUBMITTED A MINUTE AGO

I just submitted my 2025 return and right afterwards saw that my first name and middle initial are wrong. They must have been imported wrong, because I'm for dang sure I spelled my name right! It's just a partial of my first name and the wrong initial. Will it be rejected and sent back so I can correct it, or will I have to do an amended return? I'm using TurboTax Desktop (Mac).

FIRST NAME SPELLED WRONG ON RETURN I SUBMITTED A MINUTE AGO

The IRS matches the first four letters of your last name to the last 4 digits of your social security number. If that matches, it won't be rejected. It should not slow processing of your return.
