When originally providing the additional data for my ESPP sales, TurboTax (desktop) asked me for Compensation Income, but for some of these I left it at 0, intending to come back to it later.
Now I find that editing that sale later, it's no longer a text box that I can edit, but simply text box with 0.00 in it. In fact when I click Continue, TurboTax even warns me that "Most ESPP salse will have a compensation income element. Please verify your entry below." but it won't let me edit the amount to anything else.
The irony of this whole thing is I don't know why TurboTax has to ask me for this. I entered the original cost basis and the adjusted cost basis already, and from what it seems, the compensation income is just the difference between these two, so it seems TurboTax ought to have what it needs to calculate this amount. I also told TurboTax about my W-2 box 14 DQDIS line that had the sum total of these differences.
So what should I do so that TurboTax fills out the form correctly?
