If your W-2 doesn't have a control number and you're trying to import your W-2, you won't be able to import it. Your financial institution may not be a TurboTax Import Partner so you'll need to type it in yourself. Note: A control number (box d) is used by many payroll departments to uniquely identify a W-2 in their system. The IRS doesn't need this info for your taxes and we only need this number if we're importing your W-2. Otherwise, it's okay to leave this box blank, even if it's not blank on your form.
