Question

Corrected W-2 that reflects employee 401k contribution

I filed my taxes and a couple weeks later my wife received a corrected W-2 from her employer.  The only thing on it is that they added information on line 12a for her 401k.  I punched in the numbers in turbo tax to amend the returns.  When I get done it says, Are you sure you want to amend because nothing has changed.  So with that, do I need to amend my taxes?  There is no difference in taxes owed or credit.

Thanks for any help!

    No.  Box 12 is information to you and does not go on the tax return unless it gives you the "savers credit" 8880 form.
