I miss spelled my last name on my 2020 Tax return. I didn't notice the mistake until after the IRS received my tax return. The IRS check your refund says that my return is being processed. They have had my return since March 23,2020. Should I file Form 1040X and submitted or should I wait for the IRS to contact about my error

Wait for the IRS to notify you by mail about the error. Then follow the instructions in the IRS notice.

There is also a possibility that the IRS may issue the refund if your SS number and the first four characters of your last name are correct on the tax return.
