RSUs are pretty straight forward. When they vest, their value on that date is considered taxable income, which is reported in box 1 of your W-2. That amount is subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare). A portion of the RSUs are usually sold to cover those taxes. The amount reported as income is also the cost basis of the RSUs. The date acquired is the date the grants vested. There is sometimes a small difference between the value reported as income (the cost basis) and the sales proceeds, which results in a small gain or loss. Sometimes there is no difference between the two values and the resulting gain/loss is zero. I recommend you determine you cost basis based on the amount of income reported for each grant, and the proceeds from the sale in US$. When you enter in TurboTax, do not indicate that it involves company stock. You will enter three sales transactions, which should have very small gains/losses, if not zero.
