Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you entered your adjusted cost basis, which is normally the reported cost basis plus the income portion reported on your W-2 form, then your gain should be properly reflected in TurboTax. If for some reason the ordinary income portion of your trades (the discount) was not reported on line 1 of your W-2 form, which is rare, then you may have to report that amount in TurboTax so that it be reflected on your tax return.
I suggest you look at your tax return before you file it. You'll get a chance to do this after you pay for your TurboTax program. On form 8949 you will see the detail of your investment sales, where you can verify that the capital gains are correct, based on your adjusted cost basis and sale amount of your ESPP securities.
Also, if there is any ordinary income that should be reflected on your tax return in addition to what appears on line 1 of your W-2 form, it will appear on the total of your wages reported on line 1 of your form 1040.
If you find that your ESPP sales are not property reported in TurboTax, you may need to delete those investment sales and re-enter them.
