Please clarify your question. 

 

Code D in Box 12 on the W-2 is: 

D — Elective deferral under a 401(k) cash or arrangement plan. This includes a SIMPLE 401(k) arrangement.

 

If that is the case, Box 1 (Wages) of the W-2 will be less than Box 5 (Medicare Wages) by that amount because Box 1 took advantage of the 401-K deduction.

 

There is not a number designation like (20) associated with Box 12.  If This is not a 401-k contribution.  I suggest you contact your employer for clarification.
