It is not news to TurboTax that many teachers do not pay in to Social Security. Many teachers pay into teachers' retirement pension funds of various kinds instead of paying in to Social Security. All you have to do is enter your wife's W-2 exactly as it appears--with nothing in box 4. You just leave that blank when you enter the data from the W-2. And nothing about what she paid (or did not pay) into Social Security goes on the actual Form 1040 anyhow.
