What is the tax import code? Where do I find it?

The import code is printed in the lower right box of the name and address field on your W-2. If you do not have an import code, you employer has not enabled W-2 import for you. In this case, click the Back button in TurboTax, leave the EIN blank, click Continue - you will then be brought to the manual W-2 entry screen.

Are Import codes always the same for you if you keep the same employer? ‎June 3, 2019 12:43 PM 0 38,185 Reply Bookmark Icon Arunkumar New Member

You didn't explain what exactly an import code is. You just merely pointed out where to find it and not what it means. ‎June 3, 2019 12:44 PM 0 38,185 Reply Bookmark Icon kckaraniuk New Member

You didn't explain what an import code is. I have an import code, EIN but no box D Control number. I need to know what import code means and where in turbo tax do I enter it. ‎June 3, 2019 12:44 PM 0 38,185 Reply Bookmark Icon djpujo New Member
