Deductions & credits

"Shall I contact my Company to correct W-2 to show a corrected HSA contribution in W-2c or it is not required?"

 

No, do not ask your employer for a corrected W-2, because, after all, what they did was correct so far as they know.

 

Instead, just follow the process I've outlined above.

 

Note that your HSA custodian (Fidelity, I believe) likely has the form for reporting an Excess Contribution online on their website (it's worth looking for anyway).

 

The $47 will still appear on line 8 of Schedule 1 (1040). The HSA custodian will send you a check for $47 dollars. And their paperwork will be correct. Case closed.
