View Full Version : Do I need to amend our tax return?

I received a corrected W-2 but the change doesn't affect taxes paid or refund due. Do I still need to amend our tax return to reflect the new W-2?

The employer mis-reported the amount of money put into a health savings account and issued a corrected W-2 with the correct amount a few weeks after I submitted our taxes based on the original W-2. However, since the HSA was funded before taxes, it doesn't affect the gross earnings, taxes paid, or tax due/refund.

I guess my alternative is just to wait and see if the IRS ever contacts me. :eek:

In that situation, an amended return is not required.

Thank you, thank you. That is just what I wanted to hear. Now, if I ever hear from the IRS, I'm just gonna tell them that "LizzyBee said I didn't have to!"
