W-2 section keeps showing "Not Started" even if I click on "I don't have a W-2"

I work abroad and do not receive a W-2 form from my employer.  So, when I'm filling the W-2 section, I click on "I don't have a W-2".

 

However, the section keeps showing "Not Started" and, at the end of the entire filing (including Foreign Earned Income & Exclusion), TT cannot e-file my application since the W-2 sub-sections are left incomplete.

 

Note that my mailing address is set abroad and that I am eligible for the FEIE.

 

How can circumvent the "Not Started" W-2 section and solve the e-file issue?

 

Many thanks in advance.

You may still have a "skeleton" of a W-2 from last year that may not be visible because it has no data.

 

Here's what to do:

 

  1. Tap Tax Tools in the left column
  2. Tap Tools
  3. Select  Delete a Form in Tools Center
  4. Scroll down to W-2 (untitled) and delete
  5. Click Continue With My Return in the lower right when you are finished
