I received 1099-Q form after I filed my tax return. I did not use the distribution for education costs, but the Earnings (box 2) were slightly negative. Do I need to amend my tax return or otherwise take action to report the amount?

I believe having negative earnings means that I do not owe any taxes on the amount, nor do I need to take any action to report the value. I don't care to report the loss to receive additional refund money because the amount was so small.

If it were taxable, you would only pay tax on the earnings.

If there were no earnings, there would be no tax.
