How to deal with return of excess HSA contribution without updated W2
I maxed out my HSA contribution in 2022, but apparently due to a rounding error, the total contribution was 2 cents over the IRS limit. When I entered my W2 info in TurboTax, it said I was being penalized over $450 for the excess contribution. So I submitted a Request for Return of Excess Contributions form with my HSA and got a check for 2 cents sent to me. But when I asked my employer about it, they said they would not give me a new W2 for a 2 cent difference on the Box 12 Amount.
What is the proper method for dealing with the return of excess contributions in TT without an updated W2? Is there a form or worksheet in TT where I can account for this? I don't want to change the W2 information and then get audited because it doesn't match the W2 on file with the IRS.
