If your W2 has an empty Box 1 and has Box 12 Code J (third party sick pay), then it is not necessary for you to submit this W2 with your return. Third party sick pay (Code J) is not taxable. Your employer was required to generate the W2, but it is not necessary for you to file it. And, if you try to submit a W2 with a $0.00 in Box 1, the IRS will reject your e-file.
You can return to the Wages and Income section and remove this W2 from your return if it is still present.
But there is an amount in Box 1, and "3rd party sick pay" in Box 13 &14 then I have to submit this W2 with my return, right? Thanks.
No, you do not need to submit this W-2 with your tax return.
The information has already been submitted to the IRS by the company that sent you the W-2.
Add the information to your return and file your return.
