There is no form so why is it even asking?

Either you started a W-2 form for them and backed out leaving a "footprint" that needs to be deleted  OR  more likely the shell was transferred from last year and you did not visit that section to delete the unwanted form ... anyway you don't want/need it so simply delete it as described in the other answer.
