If you mean you were issued a W-2 that shows zero in the box for taxes withheld, then file it with your return anyway. If you mean you were not an employee during the year and therefore received no W-2, there is nothing to worry about. Go ahead and complete your tax return and file it. There is no need for a W-2.
"Federal 0 tax blocked" typically refers to a situation where an individual's federal tax withholding is set to zero, meaning no federal income tax is being deducted from their paycheck. This can occur if the employee claims an excessive number of allowances on their W-4 form or if they qualify for certain exemptions. While this may result in higher take-home pay, it can lead to a tax bill at the end of the year if not enough tax was withheld. It's important to ensure that withholding aligns with one's tax liability to avoid penalties.
