Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When your RSUs vested, your company was obligated to sell some of them (referred to as a sell to cover) to comply with their tax withholding obligations.  The proceeds from the sell to cover RSUs were remitted to the IRS.  Your withholding amount will be on your W-2.  So check your W-2 to ensure your withholding is correct.  The sell to cover shares may appear on a brokerage statement, such as a 1099-B or similar document.   You might also check with your firm to verify the number of RSUs sold to cover the tax withholding. 

 

Your tax refund/amount due may not change until you have entered all of your information, and moved out the the Wages & Income section of TurboTax.  You also need to verify that the cost basis you entered is correct.  Your cost basis in the RSUs will be the value on the day that the RSUs vested.  That cost basis may not be accurate on your forms, such as a 1099-B or similar brokerage statement.  Thus, you need to ensure that the cost basis is correct.  If not, and this does happen at times, you need to make an adjustment in TurboTax to reflect the correct cost basis.
