IF MY W-2 BOX 12 HAS NO MONETARY NUMBER YET AFTER FILING ON TURBOTAX THE BREAKDOWN ON THE PDF FORM SAYS $2,300 IN BoX 12. WHAT GIVES? I FEEL THAT HAS CHANGED MY REFUND.

Most box 12 entries don't change your refund, but that does depend on the letter code in the box. 

 

If you have a letter in box 12, there should be a number as well. If you don't have either, then the entry should be blank in Turbo Tax.

 

Note: the form comes preprinted with 12(a), 12(b), 12(c), etc, so if that is all that is in box 12, don't make any entry.

 

If your return has been e-filed and accepted, you may need to amend it when that option is available.

 

If you amend your return and the refund doesn't change, you don't need to file the amendment.
