Unfortunately that help article is not very helpful. Both of these scenarios in the help article apply to my W2: "I received a W-2 and Box 12 has code II", and "I received a W-2 with zero in Box 1" and amounts in Box 3 and Box 5. I made Roth contributions based on the earned income so I have to add it, and I'd like to e-file and have it accepted of course. It seems like the first scenario might be the one that applies to me, but I'm concerned it'll be rejected by IRS for having $0.00 in box 1. The second scenario would have me just add the amounts as other income and tag them as medicare waiver payments, which would eliminate the zero in box one problem.
Which set of the scenario steps should I follow?
