It appears that the recommendation from TurboTax is to put $1 in box 1 of the W-2 (that only has a value in 12a - W) in order to get around not being able to file electronically. The other option was to not include the W-2. But if I delete the W-2, I can't seem to populate Form 8889. To confirm, I have income from a pension (1099-R) and a W-2 that only has a value in 12a - W; since I cannot file electronically with a W-2 with no income listed, you are recommending I put $1 in box 1 of the W-2 and that the IRS is okay with this (the link provided by another responder appeared to suggest that it was only for people with $0 AGI) and that this will allow me to file electronically. (Unless there is a way to manually complete Form 8889 without including a W-2.) Thank you!
