My wife and I are retired and she received a W-2 from her previous employer. The values in BOX 1, 2, 3 12C and 16 are the same. Can she contribute that amount to a ROTH IRA? Box 12 also has M and N values

Ok ... this is income which can be used for IRA contributions since it is taxable imputed earnings reported on a W-2 ... this is reporting the cost of life insurance paid by the old employer ON WHICH you owe SS & Medicare taxes. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc451
What ??? On a W-2 box 1 & 2 should never be the same so I hope this is a typo on your behalf.
And what is the CODE in box 12c ?
You are correct... Box 2 is zero.
On the W2, in box 12 a-d it shows:
M 94.49
N 22.10
C 1524.00
