Question

I received a W-2C that does not seem to affect my federal/state tax due. Do I still need to file amendment?

I have filed my 2021 tax return earlier. But this week, I received a W-2C from my employer showing that one line in Box 14 (not classified chosen for my initial return as Turbotax does not have that category on profile at all)  should be zero instead of the number it showed before.

 

After following the amendment guidelines, I tried to amend both my federal and state tax and got $0 extra tax refund or due. Under such circumstances where the W-2C correction doesn't affect my tax amount, do I still need to file amendment to report this W-2C correction?

    You do not need to file an amended tax return for a change in a box 14 of the W-2.
