Where to find Box-D on Form W-2?

Purpose:

Form W-2 Box D may be used to identify individual Forms W-2 by businesses or tax professionals to track and organize forms, typically by assigning a unique control number to each form. However, it is not mandatory to use this box.

The W-2 Box D, which contains the control number, is typically located below the employer's name, address, and ZIP code, or above the employee's first name and initial in the IRS Form W-2.
