I've asked the powers that be to see about revising the explanation for shares withheld so that zero in your case is obvious. Because the fair market value of the RSU vested shares appeared as W-2 income, your basis changed from zero to their fair market value. I'm not seeing your W-2 but if there is an entry in Box 14 (or maybe in Box 12) regarding the vested share income, divide it by 5 to get your per/share basis and them multiply it by 3 and add any sales commission to get the basis for the shares you sold. From what you show, I would expect a basis of $1,598, though I'm surprised at the $17 charge you included for acquiring the shares. Perhaps that was the sales commission on the 3 shares old?
