@jfurukaw The amount you are being taxed on your W-2 is the 'discount' you received as an employee (15% average), when you exercised your option to purchase stock.
The 1099-B shows the Sales Proceeds from the actual stock price when the stock was sold, so you need to enter both your W-2 and the 1099-B.
You will need to adjust the Cost Basis on your 1099-B when you enter it to match what you actually paid for your stock, which may be the reason your tax goes up.
