Control number doesn’t go in box b, the employer’s EIN does.

W2 box d Control # is on the left side under the Employer name and address and right above the Employee name.

 

W2 box d Control number is not needed.  See

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forms/help/i-have-no-box-d-or-control-number-on-my-w-2/00/26469

 

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.

 

W2 Box b EIN

The EIN employer ID number in box b is a 9 digit number like xx-xxxxxxx.  It should be right above the employer's name.
