My husband got a W-2 from his employer that he retired from a year and a half ago. It has nothing in boxes 1 and 2. It has an amount of about $100 in Box 12a with Code E. Because of that, TT says we can't e-file. Is this W-2 important? Can we delete it? It is about deferred income.
I know it will go through if I delete it. The question is, should the W-2 remain in my return or is it unimportant and I can delete it?
No, that W-2 is not important. It does not show income or taxes withheld so it does not affect your tax return in any way. Yes, you can delete it.
You can delete that W-2 by selecting the trash can next to the W-2 or by clicking Tax Tools>>Tools>> Delete a form, then select delete next to that W-2.
