This is my second time declaring taxes as a married couple, last year I paid for someone else to file for me, and this year I did it on my own. But I ended up making a mistake, I just put in my husband's w2, and the IRS already accepted his refund, and he already received the state refund.
And I only managed to get my w2 yesterday, and I also added mine and the total refund amount was recalculated and now I'm worried that this could delay the process or cause a problem

Did you file Married Filing Jointly? If so, don't make any changes until your tax return is fully processed, which means you have received your refund.

You will have to prepare an amendment on Form 1040X, which won't be ready until later this month. You can check when the 1040X will be available by using this link.

I already added my w2 too.
Now mine has joined my husband's.
That's my question, should I delete mine?
Or can I leave it like this so as not to complicate things further?
