Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Thanks for using TurboTax
A Control Number (Box D) is used by many payroll departments to uniquely identify a W-2 in their system. If your W-2 doesn't have one, it's no big deal – you can simply leave it blank.
If
you get errors when attempting to e-file with an empty Box D, just
enter any number in this
format: 5 digits, space, 5 digits (for example,
12345 67890).
The IRS doesn't care what's in Box D because its use by
payroll departments is optional.
