Forgot to include my W-2 forms with my original State & Federal taxes.

I just filed and mailed both my State & Federal Taxes and realized after mailing them on 4

/14/2025 that I had forgotten to include my W-2s for both returns, should I fill out a 1040X form immediate and mail it post-marked by today, 4/15/2025, or should I wait? If I wait, then when do I make the amendments on both returns?

Wait for the original return to be completely processed.

The IRS may send a notice requesting additional information.
