I recieved a W2 from a former employer. Box 1 is empty. Box 13 has Retirement Plan checked. Box 15-17 has information.

Box 1-6 => empty

Box 15 => state i lived in after leaving company, not the state i was working in

Box 13 => "Retirement Plan" is checked

Box 16 => almost $700 (state wages, tips, etc)

Box 17 => $8 (state income tax)

I don't know what this is for. I did not make any contributions into my employers retirement plan, so this may just be employer contributions. Anyway, I can not e-file this becuase it has nothing in Box 1.

What should i do here?

Do you have another W-2 for 2018 from the same employer?

Sometimes your employer can't fit all the information onto one W-2 form or needs to correct only certain information, so you end up with an "incomplete" W-2 form to go with your "complete" W-2 form.

To deal with this issue, add the additional information to the complete W-2 after you have entered it in TurboTax, so that they end up being treated as one W-2 in the software.

This will resolve your issue.
