This is an exception. We often say, "Enter the W-2 exactly as printed"...except in cases like this where you would confuse TurboTax (and, frankly, other tax software) by making entries implying that the employer withheld income tax, when they state had no individual income tax for which to withhold.
If box 17 is empty, then don't enter boxes 15 and 16, even if there is data in those boxes on the W-2.
