Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You don't have to file your income tax return for the 2018 tax year if that is your only income.

And on a side note, your W-2 form is prepared correctly. The "+ or -" instructions are for situations, where income is reported in box 1 and you have to adjust it manually on your tax return. YOU are all set and no need to do anything on your end.
