Why does it tell me my verification code needs fixed but it’s whats listed on my w2

[Kat]

Which box on your W-2 are you referring to?  Are you instead referring to a Control Number in Box D?

[sdavisson3]

It’s #9 and it’s entered the same as my w2 but stating I need to fix it before efileing

[Kat]

In which Box, please?

[Kat]

@sdavisson3 You're saying there is a number in 9, but it is not being accepted when you attempt to e-file?

[sdavisson3]

Yes it’s titled a verification code box9 on my w2. When I go to efile it says I need to fix it.

Thank you.  I've seen a few posts reporting the same issue.  Let me see what I can learn about it.  I'll post more info here as soon as I find out information.

Amazing thanks so much

Thanks, @macuser_22.  I was just asking if the e-file would go through if this item was left blank.

[macuser_22]

It should.  It is optional according to the IRS but some payroll companies are using it to import W-2's.

The verification code is optional, just leave it blank.
