It looks like the info from my husband's W-2 loaded but it doesn't look like mine did. I didn't catch this until after it was submitted. What do I do

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in. You will need to use a form called a 1040X. You cannot e-file an amended return.  They have to be mailed, and it takes at least 2-3 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

Thanks so much for your response. My next question is do we need to hold the return money until this is resolved or is it ok to go ahead & use the money?

Not enough information to know if you will end up owing anything, or if you will get any additional refund when you report that other income.  Best advice would be wait until you see the results of amending your return to spend your refund.

Always make a paper copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully *before* e-Filing.
