W-2 still "needs review" - but all entries are correct?

I followed all available advice (do not import data -enter manually, restart TT, enter 0.00 in all empty fields etc., but keep getting the "needs review" prompt.

Any new ideas of how to get over this?

Do not enter zeros in empty fields, leave those blank.   You can ignore the Needs Review message.   Before you file, you will go through a Complete Check which will highlight and have you correct any real errors on your tax return.   But do not enter zeros in empty fields; just leave those blank/empty and enter your W-2 exactly as you see it.   When finished, click Continue to keep working on your return.  

 

The needs review message does nor prevent e-file.
