Regarding a corrected w-2

Employer needs to file corrected w-2s for box 12 code D  Since this  is information only, does a taxpayer who has already filed his return need to now file an amended return and if so why since this does not change the return in anyway.

You don't absolutely have to correct your return if your Box 1 wages are still the same, but the amount with Code D could make you eligible for a Retirement Savings Credit.

When you get the corrected W2, just go back into Turbo Tax and add the Code D. If nothing changes, don't worry about doing anything.
