Not able to efile due to $0 in box 1 on W2

I have a W2 with $0 in box 1 from an past employer who contributed to my HSA account (I'm retired so have no income).

Can I just enter $1 in box 1 even though it will not match the w2 we received?

Should I show this as a 'corrected w2' or not check that box?

    Try the $1 trick and then see if your return is accepted after e-filing.
