Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Generally, when shares vest, the employee has the right to sell them or hold them.  There are no conditions or limitations in place.  In your situation, if you could not sell the shares until 2022, even though they had vested in 2021, then the value of the RSUs was probably not included in your W-2 for 2021 because of the limitations on your ability to sell them. 

 

It seems now that you should amend your 2022 return to remove the 1099-B information that you had previously entered.  Then, enter the wage income as reported on your W-2.  You should also include the federal/state withholding if that does not automatically populate.   Lastly, you need to determine whether you had a capital gain or capital loss on the sale of the shares.   While the 1099-B may reflect a short-term capital gain, you want to make sure that the basis/cost as reported on the 1099-B is accurate.   Your basis/cost in the RSUs is going to be what's reflected as wages on your W-2, plus any out-of-pocket amount you may have paid for the shares.  If there was no out-of-pocket payments, then use the amount on your W-2 as the basis.  Calculate your gain/loss using that basis/cost.  

 

If you must make adjustments on what you report versus what the 1099-B reflects, you can enter such adjustments into TurboTax in the same section where you previously entered your 1099-B information.
