In my situation, the W-2 was issued because I receive annual HSA contributions from my former employer; not an EIC issue. When I delete the W-2, the HSA contribution disappears from my Form 8889, and the state "wages" on my W-2 (imputed from the HSA contribution) which I should report disappears from my state return. But if I change the federal wages to $1, all HSA reporting is correct (same as when my federal wages is $0). Although my federal income goes up by just $1 by tweaking the W-2, I don't expect I, or my former employer, have to pay OASDI or Medicare tax on the extra $1 income. Even if I'd have to pay the tax and maybe a small penalty, I'd like to have the benefit of TurboTax e-file both my federal and state returns.
