I earned $0 income in 2022 so do not have a W-2. When you click 'I do not have a W-2', it doesn't allow you to report $0 income on the Federal and complete that section ?

Please can anyone help ?  Do I need to fill-out the W-2 in some special way to reflect this $0 income ?  Thank you !

If you had no income of any kind in 2022 there is no reason for you to file a 2022 tax return.

    If I earned something small in 2021 would that make a difference as I possibly could get an Earned Income Credit and use Standard Deduction ?

    What you earned in 2021 has no bearing on the 2022 tax return.
