"I cannot figure out if my company already includes this income in box 1 or not!"
Very, very commonly Qualified Dispositions are not included in the W-2, so I would guess that's your situation. That question really has to be asked to your employer. A Human Resources or Payroll department should really know that off the top of their heads.
"Note - when I use Turbo Tax to “walk thru” the calculation of how much to adjust my cost basis, it puts the cost basis at zero!"
Nothing has changed that I'm aware of in this part of the program or in this area of the law, but since I decided not to transition to the "Champions!" program I haven't really tried to keep up. But this area of the program - we're talking about the ESPP "guided" interview - has always worked in the past and properly calculated compensation and basis for the sale of stock acquired via an ESPP. The basic input is the information from Form 3922 and in the case of a qualified disposition the compensation and basis adjustment is the smaller of the discount at the grant date or the actual profit. If you're getting a basis of $0 then you're entering something incorrectly.
" I do have info in box 12 code VV - NQSO. The funny thing is... I didn’t realize I had any of those... is that related to RSUs?"
Both NQSOs and RSUs are considered "non-statutory" options and both create compensation at either exercise (NQSOs) or vesting (RSUs). I think it's most common to indicate compensation from vesting of RSUs in Box 14, but I know it's sometimes reported in Box 12 instead. Either way, you know the amount so you should be able to calculate the basis of the acquired stock.
