Blank box 1 in W2

[Spatel73]

Hi,

This year I have additional W2 with blank box 1. If I enter ‘0’ it doesn’t allow to e-file. Is it okay to enter ‘1’ in box 1 which will allow me to proceed with e-file ? 

Thank You.

What boxes on the W-2 have entries?  You cannot file a W-2 with 0 income in box 1.

Thanks for your response.

Only box 14,15 and 16 has info filled out. Box 1 is blank because this is income with no federal tax on it, assisting relative income. I want to efile so how can I proceed with box 1 income being 0. Is there any other option?

What did you end up doing? I have the same issue. Did you have to mail it in?

You can mail in your return or you can leave your W-2 out of TurboTax and just save it for your records. ‌That way you can e-file.

You stated there is nothing in Box 1 of your Form W-2. ‌An e-filed return containing a W-2 with no amount in Box 1 (Wages), would be rejected by the IRS.
