Did that come from the City of Chicago, by any chance? I'm not asking because a lot of Chicago police officers were injured last year, but because there's an example of the notice online:

At the bottom it says to attach the notice to the tax return.
The city probably does not want to issue a corrected W-2 because they use the Box 1 amount for other purposes, like calculating pension benefits. And I'm guessing that its public-safety workers are covered by Social Security, so there are no amounts in Boxes 3 and 5.
Others have asked the question online and the answer has been to subtract it out on Schedule 1, Line 8, as a negative number for "other income." I don't think that's the best solution, but it's probably the only one for now.
That TAM number does not exist -- maybe it has been renumbered, or obsoleted.
