I'm prevented from e-file due to w2 box1 error ,and I have no w-2 's to correct the error as i am retired. I can't locate source of error. please help

I do not have any w2 forms because I didn't work, and I have a 1099-R to file.

Turbo Tax tells me "one of the w2s doesn"t have an amount in box 1 or the amount is less than  $1. 

How do I correct this error?
