Investors & landlords
You will use the "Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other" interview and tell TurboTax that you didn't get a 1099-B.
Dealing with the stock acquired via the RSU:
Your per share basis in the stock is:
(compensation created by the vesting) divided by (GROSS number of shares that vested)
If the compensation was reported to you in rupees then translate that to US dollars as of the date of vesting.

Although you can select an "RSU" step by step interview here, if you know your basis then I'd say simply tell TurboTax you are selling "Stocks." After entering the "Basis Info About This Sale" tell TurboTax you "bought" the stock "one time", enter the vesting date, and then either the entire basis (# of shares sold x per share basis) or you "purchase price", (per share basis).
Dealing with the stock acquired via the ESPP:
Same process as before except this time you would tell TurboTax that you're selling ESPP shares. TurboTax will ask for Form 3922 information which I assume you have and you'll enter that information to determine the basis to use in the sale. There's a question as to whether you translate rupees on the Form 3922 as of the date the stock was purchased or as of the date the stock was sold and I don't know the answer to that. But I'd probably opt for the sale date here.
Continue working through the "Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other" interview to the very end. Don't stop when you're simply done entering the sales. TurboTax will eventually tell you how much compensation it has calculated, (and added to your out of pocket cost), and ask if that amount has been reported on your W-2. You'll answer "No" and TurboTax will include that amount in line 7 of your Form 1040.
