Wife has W2 with $0.01 for wages Fed, $73 for state box16...TurboTax won't let e-file

How do i get around this? She did a ACT gig and they made her fill out tax forms for the hour of proctoring and now we have a W2 that has $0.01 in the federal section and $73 in the state. TT says that amounts less than $1 are not allowed for e-file and we do not have time to send this by mail. This is so ridiculous. Not sure how the heck they calculated those values. Is there any work-around for this to let it e-file? Please help!

 

There seems to be no tax withheld on either section and only other value is CASDI of $0.88

As an additional test I just removed the W2 completely and the tax amounts did not move at all for fed or state.

I would suggest you enter $1.00 in box 1 of the W-2.  As you said. it won't change your return at all, and it will be recorded for the IRS.
