Get your taxes done using TurboTax
No, you do not need to indicate that the shares sold are from Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). When an RSU vests, the value on the vesting date is ordinary income and is included in Wages on the employees W-2. That value also becomes the basis of the stock. When you sell shares, you only need to indicate the cost basis, as determined by the value (already included in income) on the date of vesting. RSUs really aren't very complicated when they are properly reported on the W-2. When entering in TurboTax, do NOT indicate that it is Company Stock.
