Form W-2 (wage statement) Box D is a Control Number field. It is usually located below the Employer's Name and Address.

The Box D Control Number is a code that identifies your unique Form W-2 document in your employer's records. This number is assigned by the company's payroll processing software.  Please note that not all W-2s (or employers) will include a Box D number.

The actual number itself is completely irrelevant to completing your tax return, unless you wish to import your W-2 into the TurboTax program, and it that one instance it may be required.

However, if you choose to type in your W-2 manually, then you do not have to enter anything from Box D at all, if you do not want to.  In fact, you can simply leave the field blank.

I hope this information is useful to your needs.  Try this W2 import information page.

I have imported the W2 into TurboTax. While scanning the same, it seems TurboTax has saved wrong control number and now i am not able to update it.

You may be able to delete it and then enter without import.
