Get your taxes done using TurboTax

TurboTax calculates tax based on the tax tables. When you do that, income is taxed based on a range of income values, so if you add one dollar of income it can bump you up to the next range of numbers in the table. That can result in your tax increasing by more that the tax on the extra dollar of income.

 

If you enter the W-2 with $0 income in box one and your tax does not change, then you don't need to enter that W-2 form on your tax return.
