You should be able to import your 1099's for stock transactions.
Bear in mind that your 1099-B may not reflect the correct Cost Basis for your RSUs and you may need to manually adjust those.
The broker does not always have this information. Starting in 2014 brokers need only report the "out of pocket" cost of of stock that's been acquired through an employer stock incentive program.
Since you pay nothing "out of pocket" when an RSU vests, the brokers typically report a basis of $0 when you sell the stock. If you report the sale exactly like it reads on the 1099-B then you end up reporting income twice: once as "compensation" income on the W-2 when the stock vests, and then as an overstatement of "gain" (or understatement of "loss) when you report the sale.
