I'm sure it's not in my W2. I exercised my options because I left my prior employer. I was only with my prior employer for a few months of 2023. I went into ADP and added the gross payment amounts from each of my paychecks for 2023 and they add up exactly to the amount on my W2.
So I'm certain that my W2 does not have my stock option excersise included since it was an amount that would have been very obvious. It's also not noted anywhere in box 14.
I did manage to fix it though. In turbo tax, instead of saying "I had 1-3 sales" and then stepping through it that way, I said I would enter them all as one sum (since it was only one sale anyway). And then it got it right and said I owe something.
