Do I need to file this empty W2? Can't e-file

Can I just delete this W2 and process with e-filing return?

 

I received an almost empty W2 form - the only value it has is in Box 12 as "DD $515" - I think this is nontaxable income and it should be OK for me not to enter this W2; otherwise, TurboTax software says I can't e-file BCS amount in box 1 is <1$.

 

 

Just found this explanation:

Box 12 amounts with the code DD signify the total cost of what you and your employer paid for your employer-sponsored health coverage plan. Code DD amounts are for informational purposes only—they don't affect the numbers in your tax return.

Many employers are required to report the cost of an employee's health care benefits in Box 12 of Form W-2, using Code DD to identify the amount. This amount is reported for informational purposes only and is NOT taxable.

 

To delete the W-2 from your return.

Go To

  1. Income & Expenses

  3. Review your W-2 info
  4. Identify the W-2 you want to delete
  5. Click the Trash Can on the right side of the screen
  6. Confirm the deletion.
