Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, there is no indication the 1099-B should be ignored.  The recommendation by our Tax Expert @DavidD66 is that you report the 1099B directly under Investment Income sales because you have already reported the value of the restricted stock units (RSUs) in your wages.  As he stated, the income in your wages is the value on the vesting date and this becomes your cost basis per share received by dividing the total amount included in income by the total number of shares.

 

The 1099-B is simply stating that some of the shares were sold which are the 30 sold to pay your federal tax (and possibly state tax).  Your cost is the value on the vesting date which will be shown on your paperwork when the vesting occurred.

 

  1. Use the Search (upper right) > type 1099b > Use the Jump to... link to begin > Scroll to the bottom of the page and select 'Add Investment' or Edit beside  your sale
  2. Continue to change the cost basis and the number of shares (30) to the actual amount sold
