Employer gave 1099 MISC for buyback of shares instead of a 1099b

I left company xyz 3 years ago.  At the time i left i had 100 shares fully vested (already filed form 83b at time of hire so no taxes paid to date on it).  These shares were granted to me with a price of $0.

 

Last year company xyz reached out to me regarding share buyback.  I agreed and they gave me $10000 for my 100 shares.  Great !  Now it is tax time and they have sent me a 1099 MISC (i have never been self employed) when I am expecting a 1099 B so i can report capital gains tax.  I reached out to them but they are unresponsive.  

 

How can i file my taxes properly on Turbotax. 

 

1) Do i just manually make up the numbers to the best of my knowledge and fill out a 1099b section in turbo tax 

 

2) If yes then what about the 1099 MISC section in turbotax.  Since the former employer already issued a 1099 MISC then the IRS is expecting this, i dont want to be in trouble

 

3) If i fill out both the 1099b and 1099 misc then i will be double taxed right? That cannot be right either.
