Get your taxes done using TurboTax

PROBABLY your sale price is the same as your vesting price.  But it's also possible that you made a little on the sale or lost a little.  You should double check.  But most likely there is no change.

 

Covered indicates that not only have the gross proceeds been reported to the IRS but the basis of the sale has as well.  That way the IRS already knows how much profit you made on the sale and is already looking for that amount.  Most RSUs do not report the basis to the IRS because they don't even bother to calculate the basis so if you are not certain I would check short-term non-covered.
