recharacterization question

Hello,

I made a $5500 contribution to our Roth IRA in early  2019 and after doing so realized that, based on our income, we were no longer eligible to make a full contribution. I recharacterized approx. $4k of it into a traditional IRA.  I've now received a 1099-R that says I need to amend my 2018 return.  Do I really need to file an amended return?  There is no taxable amount specified in box 2a and 2b says taxes have been determined.  thanks
