Just select skip W-2 and continue.

If you do not have a W-2 you do not have to enter one in TurboTax.  As DoninGA says above, you can just move on to the next section.

 

Whether you need to file a federal tax return or not this year will depend on how much money you made in 2025, your age, and your filing status.

Thanks but I'm filing jointly with my husband who has a W2 so I can't skip the section, however it keeps looping back as it wants me to add a second W2.

Just break out of the W-2 input cycle.  In TurboTax, click My Info or Wages & Income to the left side of the screen.
