Worked several jobs last year and forgot to include a w2 for $900. Im expecting a refund ($1500)-Will this make my return be rejected&I add it then? Or do I amend it?

Thank you very much! I'm just getting nervous because I filed the 13th of March and my refund still has not been approved...Probably just being impatient!
