Hey @VolvoGirl 

so I will be in same dilemma as my W2 has a 0 on box 1. But I want to use it for Earned Income Credit. So would I put wages on box 1?


For Earned Income Credit it must be taxable earned income.   A 0 in box 1 means that it is not taxable.   You don't get both tax free income and EIC.
