Hello,
Based on my experience last year, you don't want to ignore the warning. Although you situation is slightly different than mine, after several rounds of communications with the IRS, I had to amend my return. I did not receive my 2023 refund until last month. Also, I didn't get any sound advice from this community after posting my issue. I did not need to ask for a corrected W-2. After talking with a CPA, the quick and easy solution was to ignore box 11 on the problematic W-2, which resulted in me having a negative income on form 1040 Line 1a. Box 11 just moves your income from one tax form to another. It does not change your income, just how your reporting it. So, when you ignore Box 11, you should end up with the same tax owed. This was the case for me and the IRS was satisfied with this solution.
