I have not been able to get a straightforward answer to this here or from my employer or broker. Really hoping to solve this today.
Employer sold off stock to pay taxes and I received a 1099-B regarding this. It is a RSU restricted stock unit.
Column E "Cost Basis" is empty on the 1099-B. There is a value in the "FMV per share" column.
How do I get my "Cost Basis"?
- Is it the "FMV per share" multiplied by the number of shares?
- Is it box 14 "other" on my W2
- Or is it something else?
