Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The amount in box 14 is the amount that should be used for the basis for the RSUs.  If the 1099B that you received has a different amount then you need to contact your broker to ask why.

 

Your employee stock plan results: should also match the W2.

 

When the IRS has not been informed of the gain from a stock sale it means that they haven't been told what the basis (or the amount that you paid for the stock) is.  In this case we know what you paid for the stock because it's on your W2.  You enter this as the cost basis when entering your 1099-B so that you don't pay tax on the same income twice.
