If you already filed your return you will need
to wait to see if it was rejected or accepted. If they were rejected you are
able to login to your return to fix what you need to fix and fix the errors
that caused the rejection and refile the return. If your returns were accepted,
then you will need to file an amended return. You should not
try to amend your return until the original return it has been fully processed
and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.
Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them;
they are processed as two separate returns.
Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail. It can take the IRS
up to 12 weeks or longer to process them. If you are due a larger refund
than on your original return, your amended return should only show the
difference and you will receive a separate check for it. If you owe money
on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to
mail a check with the return. You can check the status of your amended return

If you have already filed your tax return and it has been accepted, you will have to amend your return to change the box 1 entry on your W-2. Since box 1 is the amount of taxable income, it must be correct on your final tax return. An amended return is form 1040X which must be completed, printed, signed and mailed. It can't be efiled. Do no change your original return until you begin the amended return.

Do we then check the box that states uncommon situations that asks if we have received a w2c even if we made corrections?
If you received a W-2c then you check the box that you received it and then correct the entries on the original W-2 rather than also entering the original W-2.
