You correct any Social Security number in the Personal Info section of the desktop program.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a prior year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

The IRS does not accept amended returns (1040X) unless there is a change in the tax liability of the taxpayer.

If you mean change in TurboTax, as the previous answer states, you can edit in the Personal Info section. 

 

Unless the IRS rejected the 2022 return for the erroneous Social Security Number, I wouldn't worry about it. 

If you only recently filed the 2022 return, and you entered an incorrect Social Security Number, expect a letter from the IRS asking about that. At that time, you can reply to the IRS letter, explain it was a typo and give them the correct number. 

 

If you claimed a dependent which you should NOT have claimed, you'll need to amend that return.
