Do you still need to enter your w-2 if you no longer work a job as a full time college student?

I no longer work for a company but Turbo Tax is insisting I fill out the w-2 for last year, even though I didn't and don't work there anymore. Is there an option to leave this blank, considering I'm a full time college student who did not work last year?

Are you returning to TurboTax to file your 2022 tax return?

If you entered a W-2 for XYX Company in your 2021 tax return, an empty W-2 for XYZ Company may be found in your 2022 tax return as a convenience to you.

If you do not have a W-2 from that employer, delete the empty W-2 by following these steps:

Follow these directions.

Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & Income.
Under Wages and Salaries, click Show more.
Click on Edit / Add / Revisit to the right of W-2.
At the screen Your W-2 info so far, click the Delete trashcan to the right of the W-2 to be removed.

Thanks for answering. Is there a way get rid of the "not started?" I didn't receive a w-2 this year, so I cannot fill this out for 2022, but it won't let me leave it blank.
