This is a forum for tax professionals who use ATX software for preparing returns for other people. From your question, I am guessing that you are using a do-it-yourself software for your own return. In entering your information into the tax program, you should not change the information provided on source documents such as W-2's or 1099's unless you are a professional and understand the consequences and meaning of such changes. So the short answer to your question is enter it just like you got it - do not mark it corrected.
