Hello. We have a W2 where my wife worked previously. She left 2016. She received a W2 with zero amount in Box 1, and all the other boxes except 14 and 16, where there is the same amount ($14 and change). Apparently when she used one of their apps last year to purchase, her discount privilege while still working there, should have been turned off 3 years ago, kicked in. Should we still include this W2? It is not letting us eFile. Thanks everyone!

Is the W-2 that you received a 2019 W-2? If it is yes, you need to include it in your tax return. If it is a W-2 from a prior year to do not include it.

Thanks much.

I dunno if that prevents us from not eFiling the whole thing or just NY ( We got Federal and NJ & NY) but got no choice. Thanks again...

I received a W2 related to a class action settlement. The only entry on the whole document is in Box 14 for CA SDI of $0.06. The Box 14 amount actually rounds to $0.00 so the form is basically blank. Turbo Tax is unable to e-file because of this W2. New York State is telling me that I have to e-file if I use Turbo Tax. Any opinions on this?

From what you have stated in your post there is no reportable income or items on the W-2. Since there is nothing to report you should delete the W-2 and then efile your tax return.

Leonard, the previous export in this post said that you need to include the W-2 even though it contains no income, can you please review her statement and help us know which is right? I also received a W-2 with no income which is preventing me from e-filing
