Military W-2

[Chowdahead]

Have a client with a W-2 issues by the military (DFAS-CL/IFLP) and it has $0 in Box 1 Wages yet has $768 in Box 2 Fed W/H.  They also withheld SSA and Medicare taxes.

ATX says it cannot be transmitted unless Box 1 has an amount.  Anyone come across this type of W-2 previously?  How do you process it?

I override the software and enter directly on the Form 1040.  Others would put $1 in Box 1.  My opinion is that it's better to override the software than incorrectly report what's on a form.

I put $1 in box 1, but I'm not saying that's right. I don't want any hugs today! *cough cough*

You complete me.  "Jello Shots."

I avoid ALL overrides.  Overrides can interfere with proper submission of data.

Is there a way to code it as Military wages in ATX. I have one like that, he was stationed in Bahrain. I coded it as Military in Drake and it efiled fine.

Thanks.  I seem to remember putting $1 in Box 1 about 5 years ago but wasn't sure.  So that's what I did!  Thanks everyone.
