I already filed taxes with my husband and today I received a corrected W-2 from my insurance company who paid me for short term disability. It says that on my old W-2, Box 13 Third party sick pay was not checked and this new W-2 has that checked. Do I need to amend? None of the other boxes, amounts or anything changed. Just box 13 from not being checked to checked.

It depends on if your sick pay benefits were taxable in 2019. If you paid for your sick pay benefits with after-tax funds then they are not. In this case, you do not need to amend. If the benefits were paid by your employer then you do need to amend. You will want to wait to file it until your original return has been fully processed.
