thank you for your response.  However, isn't earned income equal to the salary noted in W-2#1?  I'm not selfemployed.

Earned income would show in Box 1 of your W-2.  If the program is saying you have no W-2 then that means you have not entered the W-2 yet, or that you chose the W-2 belonged to your spouse instead of you.  You would need to go back and edit the W-2 under Federal Taxes, Wages and income to correct that or any other entry error.
