The discount is reported in box 1 of your W-2 but not in box 3 or 5, as it is not subject to social security or Medicare tax. So, you may be able to discern by the amount in box 1 if it includes the discount on purchase of the stock. Also, be aware that if you contributed to a retirement plan with your company, those contributions would be subtracted from the box 1 entry but not box 3 or 5, so you'll need to factor that into your analysis. The retirement plan contribution should be listed in box 12 of your W-2 with code D through H.
It would be best to get the W-2 corrected if necessary, but you could also enter the discount income as "other income" by making this entry in TurboTax:
1. From the Federal menu in TurboTax find Wages and Income
2. Find Less Common Income
3. Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
4. Choose Other Reportable Income
5. Enter a description of the adjustment and the amount
