I'm filling information about my W2 in the turbo tax app, it is asking for my box'd' control number and is giving me an example on how that number will look like, but to me, in my W2 form, the box d is my SSN so not sure what does that control number refer to?

Hi @Cassandradlfc !

It appears that your employer may have used your SSN as the control number. Have you tried to go ahead and enter it in TurboTax?

Thanks,

Cindy

Or....just leave box D blank. You are not required to put anything in box D. Using your SSN there might just end up causing errors for you when you try to e-file.
