Is it prohibited to enter a corrected W2 information onto the original W2 for a box 12a correction? Unable to efile with a W2 with no amount in box 1.

If it's a corrected W2C and you haven't efiled the original return already, enter all the new information and in Section 13C check the Corrected W2 box. 

If you e-filed the return and it was accepted, you have to amend the original return with the W2C information.

No, it is not prohibited.  You can enter the original W-2 info and also enter the correction.

Thank You. I haven't efiled yet, and was trying to avoid preparing an amended return.
