All of your husband's income would still have to listed in box 1 of his W-2, whether he had tax withheld or not. If the employer did not include that income in box !, that is a mistake. The only box that should be affected is box 2 swine your husband had less tax withheld. Better check with the employer before you use that W-2 on your tax return. For the future--do not ever claim to be "exempt" from taxes. Change the number of allowances on your W-4 to reduce the amount of tax being withheld instead.
