3rd party sick payments

[AnthonyC]

If you have a W2 for this item and it has an empty Box 1 and has Box 12 Code J (third party sick pay), then it is not necessary for you to submit this W2 with your return.  Third party sick pay (Code J) is not taxable.  Your employer was required to generate the W2, but it is not necessary for you to file it.  And, if you try to submit a W2 with a $0.00 in Box 1, the IRS will reject your e-file.

You can return to the Wages and Income section and remove this W2 from your return if it is still present.
