W-2c box 13 Need to amend?

[JaOs]

Hello all,

I have already filed and got my return sorted when i recieved a W-2c from my employer because the retirement plan box was not checked.

I do not have an IRA or contibute to the 401k(employer adds some money to it but i do not)

as far as i know i shouldn’t be required to amend my return because it appears the return amounts should not change at all but i wanted to make sure

do i have to file an amended tax return?

No, you don't need to amend for that as long as you, and your spouse if this is a joint return, don't contribute to an IRA during the year. 

Do keep the W-2C with your records for the three year period required by law.
