The box d Control Number on a W-2 is not needed to file your tax return.  If you are receiving an error for box d then delete the W-2 and re-enter manually and do not enter anything in box d.

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.

Some companies use Box D for a number.  If it is blank on your W-2, then leave it blank in TurboTax.  The only reason to use it is to download your W-2.
