Question

Blank box 1 in W2

Hi,

This year I have additional W2 with blank box 1. If I enter ‘0’ it doesn’t allow to e-file. Is it okay to enter ‘1’ in box 1 which will allow me to proceed with e-file ?

Thank You.

What boxes on the W-2 have entries? You cannot file a W-2 with 0 income in box 1.

You can mail in your return or you can leave your W-2 out of TurboTax and just save it for your records. ‌That way you can e-file.

You stated there is nothing in Box 1 of your Form W-2. ‌An e-filed return containing a W-2 with no amount in Box 1 (Wages), would be rejected by the IRS.
