I'm retired. I left my last company August 2022. I received a W2 form them for 2023 that has an empty box 1 but has data in boxes 3, 4, 5, 6.
Because of the empty box 1, I cannot efile. I'm asked to mail the return instead.
Why did I get this type of W2 form, the year after I left the company?
Thanks
Yes, the IRS will reject a Efiled return containing a W-2 with no amount in Box 1 (Wages).
You could mail it, as you suggested, or leave it out of TurboTax and just save it for your records, so you can Efile.
Are there amounts/notes in any other boxes besides the 3, 4, 5, 6 you mention?
You could contact your employer to see why they sent you this W-2.
Since you're retired, maybe it was issued to show Medical Insurance they paid for you, or some related info.
