Because you did not sell any of the RSUs that vested (yes, your company sold some to cover their tax withholding obligations) then you are essentially entering the sold to cover RSUs to determine whether you have a gain or loss on those shares. In most instances, because a company will sell to cover as soon as the RSUs vest, there is no capital gain or loss. However, whether there is a gain or loss, you still need to enter the sold to cover sale.
To determine your per share cost basis, divide the total value of the RSUs, (you can use the amount in box 14 of your W-2) by the number of shares that vested. The number that vested includes all of your shares, the shares that remain in your account and the shares that were sold to cover. Once you know the per share basis, you can multiply the number of shares sold to cover by the per share basis and enter the resulting number into TurboTax in the cost/basis field.
Just an fyi, the box 14 amount on your W-2 has already been included in box 1, Wages.
