I do not have any w 2 for income keeps insisting enter informatiom

You can file a conventional paper return that includes IRS Form 4852 if all efforts to obtain a W-2 from your employer have failed. Here's how to fill one out:

  1. In your TurboTax program, search for W-2 and then select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the W-2 entry screen.
  2. Fill out your W-2 as best you can using the information from your last pay stub.
  3. When finished, proceed through the interview. Eventually you'll get to the Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2? screen.
    • Check the Substitute form box near the bottom.
    • Check any other box(es) that apply to your W-2 before selecting Continue.
  4. Eventually you'll come to a screen which will ask if you want to complete Form 4852 for wages paid. Answer Yes and carefully follow the onscreen instructions.

Returns including Form 4852 can't be e-filed per IRS regulations.

Are you trying to say you did not receive a W-2 from an employer--but you should have?  Or do you mean the software is trying to get you to enter income from a W-2 and you did not receive a W-2 for 2019, and did not earn income that would be on a W-2?  

 

If you just flat out should not have a W-2, then in that income section you need to click that you do NOT have a W-2, so that the software will stop asking for it.
