The IRS doesn't care what's in Box D because its use by payroll departments is optional.</P> <P>On the other hand, if you're trying to&nbsp;import&nbsp;your W-2 with a blank Box D, click&nbsp;skip import&nbsp;and then manually enter your W-2. You won't be able to import using the 5 digit + space + 5 digit solution for e-filing.</P> <P>Related Information:</P> <BR /> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 07:57:30 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/the-control-number-is-not-needed-to-file-your-tax-return/01/150286#M62180 Tonita 2019-06-01T07:57:30Z
