Do I have to report a w2 with no income but an amount in box 12a with initial J - or can I put $1 in box 1 so I can e-file?

No, you do not need to include your W-2 with your taxes. With a code J in box 12, it reflects your short term disability benefits as a nontaxable sick pay event. Therefore, it is not taxable and nothing needs to be reported.

If you want to EFile, do NOT put any amount in the W2. Instead, just report $1.00 of interest. It will achieve the same result.

if i skip adding this W2, is there a way to claim the excess FICA tax withholding resulting from this W2?
