Retirement tax questions

thank you but my custodian doesn't seem fully informed.  They are telling me that they already sent out whatever gets sent out for 2017.  I added another $2k to the sep for 2017 but just did that in 2018.  They said they made a note that it is to be applied to 2017 .  I'm just concerned that if something got to the IRS that said $6k in 2017 contributions, then I'm stating it was really $8k because I added $2k, then there will be a flag or a problem.  I know that I will have the documentation to prove it if needed but I would like to avoid having to prove it.
