How do I submit my W-2 if box 13 is empty and the website won’t let me skip it?

I was a full time employee with no retirement plan and I took no sick pay but it wants me to check one of the boxes contradicting my form.

The most common issue is a retirement plan.  Please check any posting to Box 12.  Retirement contribution would be coded with a “D”, or “AA” with a dollar amount next to it. In that case, you did have a retirement account.

Hi, I’ve been doing my taxes for 11 years, there’s nothing in box 12

Try deleting the W-2  and  reentering it manually leaving boxes 12 & 13 completely blank ... that may shake it lose.
