Retirement tax questions

You don’t need to change your W-2 box 12 entry, only enter it as reported on your Form W-2. You can ignore the warning about the excess deferral since you corrected it by adding it as other earned income with the steps above. The warning won’t cause a penalty (this only applies to excess IRA contributions). Therefore, you can ignore it.
