If I receive a W2C that is only correcting my HSA contributions I’m box 12 is there any chance the IRS will think I received double income because of the amendment?

I know this is dumb, please hold judgement

This is my first time with a W2C.

Is it normal to have nothing in any boxes besides the change in box 12?

Yes ... it only reports the items that changed.

No ... the W-2C supersedes the original form.

If the correction only changes the box 12 , on the tax transcript would only the items that change show up or does the whole W2 show up again?

If the W-2 C only had a box 12 entry then that is the only thing on the original form that was superseded. If this didn't change anything else on your return then simply file it away with the original form and forget about it.
