I've filed and now realize I didn't enter box 1 from my HSA 1099. All distributions were normal H and for qualified expenses. No change to taxes owed occurred. Re-file?
It seems that re-filing isn't needed as no change to my tax liability occurred. Nonetheless, I am worried the IRS will see that no amount was entered in Box 1 due to my oversight. Do I need to re-file, or not because no impact to my overall taxes.

This is one of those errors that I would let the IRS catch if I were you. Filing an amended return that causes no overall change is ok and an explanation for why you are filing is included on the 1040X. But this is almost certainly an error the IRS system will catch and either send you a letter about or decide to ignore. If you receive a letter you can amend at that point.
