Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, don't delete it.  After further review, and given the fact that your sell to cover transactions were reported on a 1099-B, enter the sell transaction into TurboTax as you would any other RSU transaction.  Ordinarily, the sell to cover transactions are not reported on a 1099-B, and thus, taxpayers do not need to separately report their sell to cover transactions.   In your case, because the three RSUs are on your 1099-B, go ahead and report them on your return as you would if you were reporting your personal sale of RSUs. 

 

Your cost basis is likely the same as the proceeds, and thus, there would be no gain or loss on the transaction.  Because it appears that the vesting and sale for withholding were done on or about the same time, the transaction would be considered short term.   

 

This sale will likely appear on your Form 8949.  Your return then will match what is on your 1099-B.
