You are correct, you can't enter a W-2 that is blank in Box 1.
If your federal wage info in boxes 1–14 is the same (or blank on one W-2), and the state info in boxes 15–17 (or local info in boxes 18–20) is different, you’ll enter both on the same W-2 screen. Enter all the info from the most complete W-2, then enter the different state and local info from the other W-2.
