I sent my taxes but then

I sent in my tax return in on like, Jan 4th, obviously the irs wasn't open then. A week and a half passes, IRS is open, I get my paper w2 from my employer ( my employer uses gusto, I got my digital w2 to find $36,XXX). I get a paper one that's the same as my digital one from gusto, but then there's another w2, same company and employer, same year, but the income is like $8,800 on said w2. I ask a chick from accounting "why did I get 2 w2s from you guys"? (My boss was going through a divorce, boss, but also the owner of the establishment I'm employed at) his wife was in charge of payroll, after the divorce it switched over to my boss and migrated away from gusto, hence the 2nd w2, from Oct 2025 to Dec 2025. Should I file an amended return now, or wait for my orginal return to come back to me first? Supposedly getting 6XXX Back with dependant. So I don't believe i owe, or can I wait to file it for next year? If I amended my return after I receive what I'm expecting will I receive a second refund? Or owe? Will I be audited? Should I be concerned is what I'm asking because I don't want to owe in, and if there is a chance at getting even more back then wtf why not?
