I have a D for X amount and a D 21 for X amount. How do I get this fixed?

    If both amounts were withheld from you 2022 compensation (reflected by a reduction on Box 1 Wages), then I would combine them and enter together.  If the 21 amount was not withheld from your 2022 income, I would omit it.  Code D in Box 12 indicates a 401(k) contribution.  That reduces Box 1 wages, but not Social Security or Medicare Wages.  You can likely tell if both amounts were withheld from 2022 wages by comparing the difference between Box 1 and Box 5 of your W-2.
