Child employed by parents. Payments for the services of a child under age 18 who works for their parent in a
trade or business aren't subject to social security and Medicare taxes if the trade or business is a sole proprietorship or a partnership in which each partner is a parent of the child.
*****************
so if your father's business is operated as a sole proprietorship or qualified partnership with mom and you are under 18 on 12/31/2022 no fica or medicare taxes is correct (box 3 through 6 on the w-2 are zero). so you file your return reporting the W-2 as is. don't know your wages so as to federal or state withholding maybe zero is the correct amount to be withheld. when you complete your return in Turbotax do you have a liability of more than $1,000 line 37 of the 1040.
*************************
on the other hand, if you are not exempt from FICA, Medicare and income tax withholding your dad should run to a professional. there are extremely serious tax consequences for failure to withhold and failure to pay taxes that should be withheld.
