Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are correct and you should be issued a corrected W2.  At this point the IRS will assume that the amount in box 1 is correct and you don't have a good way to fix it on your tax return.

 

Be sure that your contributions are post-tax, however.  If they are pre-tax then they are taxable to you.
