    Put 0 instead of a wage.

    Vaya makes a valid point.

    Your total earned income would be $0, so that is the amount you put down.

    You can electronically file for free (at least Federal). Go to www.irs.gov and click the Free File link. This will take you to a list of sites that offer free filing for those with under $50K of income. When prompted for W2 info, just put none. I just did it with my daughter (also a student) last night. It took less than 30 minutes.
