Hello,

I take care of my mom and received a w-2 with no wages or income in box 1 and 2. However, box 3, 4, 5, and 6 are filled in with social security wages and medical wages and tax withheld. It asks that this must be manually mailed in and cannot be e-filed.

Some people say that I do not have to file it, while others say that i do. Not sure what to do, thank you.

If there is nothing in Box 1 of the W2, just delete it and you should be able to E-File your return.  This will not affect anything on your Tax Return.

Why was this w-2 sent to me if it did not need to get filed?
