Yes, file the S corporation return to generate the K-1 form and use that to complete your personal tax return.
To pay a salary from the corporation to yourself, you would need to file a Form 944 to pay in the associated taxes, and then issue yourself a W-2 form which you can do in TurboTax. You would also need to file a federal unemployment tax return Form 940 as well as apply for a state unemployment tax account and file the required state unemployment tax.
However, since the S Corporation had no net profit, you would not be required to pay yourself a salary and you would save payroll taxes by not doing so. You mention that you want to pay yourself a salary to save taxes, but it is not clear how that would save you taxes, as the loss it would generate for the business would just be picked up as income on your personal tax return.
