(2024) Adding ESPP ordinary income not included in my W-2

In the 2024 online version of TurboTax, how do we get to the screen where it asks if our ESPP ordinary income was included in the W-2 or not ?

I have a situation in which my ESPP gains were not reported in my W-2. This was because the broker moved these stocks to my "personal" account. How do I correctly report the discount on W-2 and then ensure that the correct cost basis is set? It seems like every year this process changes in TurboTax based on some search in the forum.

When you enter your ESPP sales, choose Employee Stock Purchase Plan as the type of investment you sold:

 

 

Indicate that your cost basis reported on the 1099-B form is wrong and that you need help finding the correct cost basis. You will come to a screen where you can indicate that the ESPP sale is not listed on a W-2 that is entered on your tax return. When you do that, the discount will be reported on schedule 1 on our tax return as other income.
