Get your taxes done using TurboTax

So I believe I have the same question as those who have posted here previously but I'm not sure I understand the answer. We have already paid taxes on the gross amount of the RSU in prior years, now we are selling the stock. The answer appears to be in the last sentence of this response from Tom Young. It appears we're supposed to take the dollar amount of the amount in box 14 on the w2 for the year granted, then divide it by the number of shares VESTED that year. What number does this provide and where do we input this number/figure in TurboTax under the RSU section?  Is this the estimated cost basis if it is not provided by my Broker? What is the advantage in figuring your own cost basis versus using what the brokerage service provides?
