I'm having the same problem. I heard what you said, but I need just a little more info.
On my 1099-B, I have two entries for the same release lot. One entry is for stocks I sold after they were released and one entry is for stocks that were sold to cover the taxes. For both of them, I entered the full amount of shares that were released which is probably what's causing the grossly inflated RSU amount in my Employee Stock Plan Results.
So, two questions. I see that you said to split the total. Can I choose whatever numbers I want as long as they cover the sale and between the two they equal the actual total?
And finally, you said to leave the "Shares Withheld (Traded) to Pay Taxes" blank. Is that only for the one that represents the sale that I initiated? Or do I leave it blank for both?
Thanks in advance for the additional details. I'm really struggling with this.
