Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, it will not be a problem.  To follow-up on the comments from @DavidD66, even if you don't have a W-2 from your employer you can report this amount as compensation income on line 8 of your Form 1040.  Line 8 on Form 1040 is the line for "Other Income."  Follow these steps to report the ordinary income aspect of your ESPP as other income:

 

  1. Go to Personal
  2. Select Personal Income
  3. Scroll down the page to Less Common Income
  4. Select Miscellaneous Income
  5. Select "Yes" when asked if you received other taxable income.
  6. Enter the name and amount.

If you are using TurboTax online, the process is essentially the same as the above steps.
