Only some W-2s will have a verification code this year.</P><P>On the other hand, if you had a verification code on your W-2, but experienced an error after entering it, just delete the code. It won’t delay the processing of your tax return.</P> Mon, 03 Jun 2019 17:27:31 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/business-taxes/discussion/the-irs-has-partnered-with-certain-payroll-service-provid/01/283352#M9987 TomK 2019-06-03T17:27:31Z
