After you file

No, you don't have to amend your income tax return if you:

  1. Received a corrected tax form after filing (the "corrected" box is checked) and
  2. The new info (W-2 Box 13 Retirement Plan is now checked), and
  3. It does not change your refund or tax due amount. 

Having the “Retirement Plan” box checked means you had access to a retirement plan such as 401k at work, which may limit your ability to get tax incentives for other retirement plans like an IRA.
