Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you enter "Zero" in Box 1 of the W2, it will be rejected. Some people enter a "1" instead, which creates a valid wage amount and should let you e-file.

 

This usually won’t impact your tax return unless you have other income and that $1 happens to push you into a higher tax bracket, which is rare.
