A Control Number (Box D) is used by many
payroll departments to uniquely identify a W-2 in their system. If your W-2
doesn't have one, it's no big deal – you can simply leave it blank.

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.
