I did not earn any money . I had zero wages but I have 583.07 in box 12a with the code DD . Do I have to report this and why does it mean I cannot e-file?

If you have blanks or zeroes in other boxes, you can't e-file (invalid W-2) If you put $1 in box 1, you can (probably) e-file. HOWEVER, you don't have to enter that W-2 at all if the only amount on it is Box 12 Code DD. That just means your employer paid something for your health insurance, and is not used Anywhere on your return ...

Rainman12 is correct. His answer is supported by the Form 1040 instructions for line 1a stating, "Enter the total amount from Form(s) W-2, box 1." I also had the same question this year, and today I spoke with an excellent TurboTax support lady, Irene. She agreed that do not have to submit my W-2. I'm disappointed that TurboTax doesn't handle this situation, and I wasted a lot of time getting a correct answer.
