You can not put $1 in wages if your W-2 does not show $1, that would be intentionally filing an incorrect return. If box 1 is $0, it doesn't matter what is shown for social security and medicare wages or withholdings. You simply leave the entire W-2 off your return.
If your W-2 shows $0 in box 1 - leave the entire W-2 out.
If your W-2 shows an amount in box 1 - follow the steps above.
