Tom, I'm not sure you are understanding as I am in the same position and can tell you now the taxes are not spread out over the W2. Example I had 19 shares vest 6 were sold to cover taxes at $1750 a share. $10500 is not spread out anywhere on my W2, I have my standard income tax reported and nothing more. But this $10500 is reported as a sale on my 1099-B. I have these sales twice a year for the last 3 years.
