Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My instructions incorrectly assumed you were using TurboTax Online. To enter this in TurboTax Desktop:

  1. Enter the sale as it appears on your 1099-B with Box B selected. For Box 1e Cost or other basis enter 0.
  2. Continue through the next screen and answer Yes to Was this a sale of employee stock? On the next screen, select RSUs.
  3. Continue through entering the details about the sale proceeds and the cost per share. If you paid commissions, do not include those in the Market Price on Vesting Date. Enter them on the Purchase commissions or Fees Paid line.
  4. Once all the information is entered, the system should calculate the loss from the sale of your RSUs.
