Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I finally figured it out.  For 2020, in order to get the program to ask you if your ordinary income was included in your W-2, you must do the following.
1) You must select "I need help figuring out my cost basis"
2) You must select "I'll enter this on my own" when asked about the sales info
3) Specify "It's for an employer that has an existing W-2 on this return" (if appropriate, either way works)
4) You must enter the amount of compensation income on the "Let's enter your ESPP sale details" page
5) Then after completing it, it will summarize your sales on the "Here are all your investment sales" screen
6) When you click on continue, it will bring up the "Let's review your employee stock plan results" screen and ask you about your W-2's

Without going though the "I need help figuring out my cost basis" section, it never asks about your W-2, nor gives you the option to specify your ordinary income.
