No. A Form W-2 reports wages of an employee.

If your investment was reported on a Form 1099-B, enter it in the investment section.

If your investment was reported on a 1099-R, enter it in the retirement section.

What kind of investment?

If an IRA you should get a 1099-R.

If another investment you should get a 1099-B. This describes how to enter that

Note that you might not get the 1099-B until the end of Feb.
