So, first enter the form 1099-B as stated, then adjust the cost basis by adding the income reported on your W-2 for the restricted stock units income as follows:
- Choose the Federal option on your left menu bar
- Choose Wages & Income
- Choose the Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) option
- Choose the Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds option
- Enter your Form 1099-B information and check the box that says "The cost basis is incorrect or missing on my 1099-B" and you will see an option to adjust the cost basis.
