W2 Box 12 Code W does not match

Turbo Tax has flagged Box 12 Code W, saying "Spouse plus taxpayer should be equal". It believes the amount should be twice what is listed on the actual W2. Should I just ignore it, or should I be calling my company to determine if there has been an error?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what that message means. The box 12 entry on your W-2 form with code W is for your employer's contribution to your health savings account at work. TurboTax would have no way of knowing what that amount is or why the number entered was wrong.
