The control number is an employer option and many do not use it so leave it blank.

Did you get a W2 or a 1099?  Isn't State Street for Retirement or investments?

 

W2 box d Control number is not needed.  See

The control number in box d is not required by the IRS - it is used by your employer.  As a result, if it causing you trouble, just delete it.  If it is not causing you trouble, then leave it in - it won't matter.

It won't let you, it won't let you past that step. I had a similar problem last year.  EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.  I'm done using turbo tax. It is not the software It once was. No wonder  nobody sells it anymore.  I'm switching mid taxes to H&R Block.  I've had it with this crap
