W2 with box 1 empty Can't e-file

Hi,

I received mine W2 form my employer. I am a healthcare provider for my son, we live in New Jersey. I have a W2 where box 1 ($0) and box 12a (II $14,445) box 16 ($14,445) and box 17 ($161)

If I remove the W2 from mine return, I will lose the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Credit. If I keep the W2 on mine return, I cannot e-file.

Can I remove the W2 and put the $14,445 under other income to receive mine Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Credit?
