After you file

I have an interesting situation. I did not get a W2 from my old company for some qualified ESPP I sold last year. When I filed my taxes, I calculated the ordinary income portion, as usual, and answered that the income was not reported on a W2.

 

Well, the company decided to generate a W2 that I received last week. The box 1 amount is the identical amount that was calculated on the original return. So while I *could* file an amended return, nothing will change materially, since the income is already accounted for. Do I actually have to add the W2 and file an amended return, or can I just leave things as they are? (Calling the IRS leads to a hang up.)
