You don't see that question while entering trade information or editing trades you've already entered. That question comes up only if you used the "ESPP" step by step interview and only when you're completely done entering trades and click the "Done" or "Continue" button that takes you further into the "Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other" interview. You must work all the way to the very end of the interview.

Has anyone run into this issue in the latest online version for the 2020 tax year?
I went through the full ESPP workflow, it allowed me to adjust the basis for ordinary income, but never asked me if the ordinary income was on my W2.
As long as you entered the correct stock basis and selected Long term noncovered (held more than one year) or Short term noncovered (held one year or less) this places the sale on the appropriate section of Form 8949. This selection of 'noncovered' clarifies that the basis, if any, on your Form 1099-B needed to be adjusted.
