Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The practical answer is that what is taxable is compensation - you receive money or items of value from your employer and you owe a bit of it to the government.  In this case your employer has detailed the compensation they gave you - including the discount on stock purchases - on the documents that they gave you.  All of that is the compensation for your foreign earned income purposes.
