The basis is on my 1099-B and is accurate; they were entered as described. 

 

However, when RSU shares vest they are treated as ordinary income.  The value on the vesting day has been added into my W-2 wages.  Some shares are sold in order to pay tax (also on W-2 in Fed Inc Tax WH).  Then there is capital gain/loss at the time of actual sale.  

So, it looks like the value of the shares are in my W-2 wages but also being counted again due to the 1099-B calculations.  Basically, Schedule D looks correct (minor loss), but Schedule D AMT is showing a Net Capital Gain equal to the total sales price of shares.  This is triggering additional tax even though the income is already shown in my W2.
