We did not receive a W2 for 2020 as she did not work for her employer at all in 2020.

After entering your W-2 and going thru the interview you will reach a W-2 summary page called "Here's your W-2 info.  Click delete next to your wife's W-2.  

 

Even if you don't delete it, no $ info from last year carried forward.

If you are seeing a Form W-2 that you no longer need, delete itSee: How do I delete forms in TurboTax Online? 

 

Why does this happen? When you transfer the information from your prior year return, the program automatically includes certain forms in the current year - to make sure you don't forget to update those forms or report income that you had in the past and might still have. If a form is no longer required (e.g. W-2, 1099-R, K-1s, Schedule C), you have to delete them from the current year.
