Do I need to amend my tax return if my employer issued me a new W-2 with a corrected amount in box 10?

My original W2 had an amount in Box 10 that was several hundred less than the new W2. I'm not sure if the dependent care amount will affect anything and I'm not sure if I need to amend my return.

It depends- if you also have the dependent care credit, you will have to calculate to see if the credit amount changes. (See 1040 Line 49 or Form 2441)  If you did NOT claim the child care credit and used the entire amount for child care expenses, you would not have a change in tax and would not need to amend.
