Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your W-2 includes income from the sale of ESPP shares you should indicate that you "found your adjusted cost basis."  You cost basis is the amount you actually paid for the shares, plus the amount that was included in your W-2 as ordinary income.  You can enter this adjusted amount as the cost basis by entering you sale with or without using the Employer Stock interview.   The amount included as ordinary income will depend on whether the sale was a qualifying disposition or not.  For more information on Employee Stock Purchase Plans see the following TurboTax Help Article:  Employee Stock Purchase Plans
