You should report in TurboTax the actual gain, which seems to be $345 in this instance. The Form 1099-B should list at a minimum the sale proceeds and either a cost basis of a positive amount or $0. If the stated cost basis is wrong, you should adjust it by entering the correct cost basis. You will see an option for doing this after you enter your Form 1099-B in TurboTax. That is all you need to do even if the Form 1099-B does not show a gain or loss amount.
Thanks for the response, Thomas. This makes sense, however I'm just concerned that a discrepancy between the 1099-B reported to IRS and Turbotax having something different might raise a flag for an audit (at least some of the comments I read online suggested that might be the case). Being uncomfortable with this, I've just turned the return over to a CPA to complete.
