received a w-2 havent work for company sine 2/2023

[jdcs311]

I received a w-2 from a company that I havent work in since 2/2023 and it's a small amount of $ 26.09. I tried e-filing, and it says that box 18 local wages cannot be less than local withholding? Local withholding box 19 is 0.02. Is it worth filing or deleting ? please help

Two cent is going to round down to zero, so leave the withholding field blank.   You should contact the employer and inquire as to why they sent that w-2.   Is it a 2024 W-2?

I did put 0 and it would not accept the 0. It keeps saying the local wage can't be less than the local withholding. Which makes no sense .

You should not be filing a 2023 W-2 form on your Tax Year 2024 tax return.  In this case, you will need to amend your 2023 tax return to add this 2023 income.

However, if this W-2 is indeed correct (contact your former employer to confirm), you may also try: If box 19 Local Income Tax has an amount then put the amount from box 1 or box 16 into box 18 for Local Wages.
