Yes Turbo tax told me that they agree it is an issue with at least the windows version and they have to fix it and release an update in the future!!!
Yes, for short term ESPP sales, I don't think this will be much of a real issue (the checks might not work, i.e. the question is $XXX reported in your W2 will not show up); however, brokers are required to have the correct cost basis, so since that is input on the sale screen (before inputting ESPP) it should all work out the same.
The issue is the long term ESPP, and I also have some SPP (previous program from ESPP) from long enough ago that the broker doesn't have a cost basis and even if they did the ordinary income would not be reflected correctly since it would not have been in W2 and then Turbo Tax2020 isn't calculating it at all (until fixed.)
To counter this For now (just to understand roughly what I should owe) I made a fake virtual short term stock sale to cover that ordinary income (which I will delete and update ESPP info once it is fixed.)
