If you need to correct your return for any reason and have filed the return you would need to file an amended return. 

 

Please follow the instructions here to file an amended return.

What exactly is wrong?  Are you taking about W2 box 12?

W2 Box 12a - 12d are just the box numbers.  They don't have to be filled in.  But if they have a Code (1 or 2 capital letters) and amount you need to enter it.  Don't confuse the lowercase letters a-d with the uppercase Codes A, B, C, D, DD, etc.  The lowercase a-d are just part of the box label. You don't enter them.

 

You can enter the Code and Amount in any box 12.  It doesn't have to be in the same box 12 as your W2.
