Box 12DD Incorrectly Reported from Employer, what should I do?

[connjessica]

I received a letter from my former employer saying that information on employee/employer health insurance contribution (box 12DD) was incorrectly reported to my in 2014 &2015. I have received a corrected wage and tax statement. It is a significant amount, should i look to file an amendment to get any money left on the table?

Box 12 code DD is only used for government statistics collection.  The amount of money your employer pays towards your health insurance does not change your taxable income, your tax owed, or your refund.
