ESPP: Can I enter adjusted cost basis in box 1e (cost basis)?

My brokerage (Fidelity) tells me the adjusted cost basis of my ESPP stock sales. Can I just put the adjusted cost basis in box 1e (cost basis)? See attachment for the screenshot.

I sold all stocks within a year anyway, so they are taxed at ordinary income tax rate, right? There should be no difference if I put the adjusted cost basis in box 1e?
