There's no real "income tax reporting" requirement to use the ESPP "guide me step by step" interview if the compensation income created by the sale is reported on your W-2.
Assuming that's the case:
- Delete the trade, don't try to edit it, delete it.
- Enter the 1099-B exactly as it reads, wrong basis and all
- Click the blue "I'll enter additional info" button
- On the next page enter the correct basis.
You're done.
