Do i need to file a w2 with no wages only nontaxable sick pay

I have a W2 for my non-taxable sick pay, but there is nothing in the wages boxes or tax withheld boxes.  I don't know if I have to include it on my return or not.  I would prefer not to include it as it prevents me from e-filing my return.

No.  If your W-2 has no Box 1 amount for Wages and only includes non-taxable sick pay paid from a third party, you do not include this W-2 on your return.
