Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

The efile is saying my control number is invalid but the "1" is what is there. It is asking for a different number that I do not have on the W-2. HELP!

If you get errors when attempting to e-file with 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.
