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

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

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

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

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