Keeps asking for W2 info even though I am retired and unemployed

Retired, unemployed, and have no W2's yet when TT does it's final check it insists there is an issue with 3 things: 1. W2 (untitled) employer state wanted, 2. Employer ID, 3. Employer zip code. At no time did I tell TT I had a W2. Should I simply ignore these warnings?

You are posting from desktop software.  Go to Federal>Wages and Income

Click Wages and Salaries Form W-2

It will say something like "let's start with your W-2"

You can click "I don't have any W-2's"

That should take care of it.

Thank you!  I'll go back and see if that works.  Makes sense,

You might have to go back and tell Turbo Tax  that you don't have W-2s.

Federal Taxes Tab

Wages & Income

Wages and Salaries- Click the Start or Update button

 

If it says…Let’s Work on Your W-2s

Check the button that says…We don’t have any W-2s

Then Click on Continue

 

Or if it gives you a box listing W2s (that might have transferred over from last year) then click delete by them.
