1099-B incorrect gain calculation

Hello,

 

I've been fighting with turbo tax premier for a few hours now. While entering info from my 1099-B from an employee stock account it seems to be trying to tie my 1099-B Proceeds to my W-2 (probably correctly), but it's causing it to produce an incorrect Gain/Loss value. To troubleshoot I've done the following:

 

With an Imported W2 from my employer:

- Imported my 1099-B from my broker account (produced an incorrect Short Term Gain of $2620.00)

- Manually typed in all the transactions from the 1099-B (produced an incorrect Short Term Gain of $2620.00)

- Manually typed in grouped transactions (Long term and Short term) (produced correct Short Term Gain of $-40 (fees for sell to cover transactions))

 

In a separate return file with no W2 info:

- Typed in all of my 1099-B transactions (produced correct Short Term Gain of $-40)

 

I'm really struggling to figure out what's going on here. Any advice would be helpful.
