Thanks for your help. I filed my federal return with TT and it has now been accepted. If I want to amend the return to ask for the change to form 8959, it seems that I need to change the amount in my W2 Box 5 as if there would have been no amount there (that way, there is no added medicare wage that gets added into form 8959). However, I did not receive an official corrected W2. Is that okay for me to do and change the W2 and just explain on the 1040X what I did? I can attach the support letter from the university, but unfortunately there is no corrected W2 I can use so I hope that will not be a problem? Or please let me know what is the best way for me to amend the 8959 if the IRS records W2 would be different.
