Form 1099-B worksheet error
Turbox tax is calculating a "gain" in situations where RSU's sold to cover exceed the remaining unsold shares. The error lists the difference as shares unaccounted for and calculates a gain on a zero basis (number of shares times mkt value on date of vesting date. For example: Total shares vested is 1,000; shares sold to cover is 600, remaining shares is 400, and market value at vest date is $10. No shares have been sold except those sold to cover. TurboTax creates an error stating that the difference of 200 shares is unaccounted for and calculates a $2,000 gain ($10x200). In my situation there are 4 vesting transaction where this error occurs and 10 where the error does not appear. The difference between these 10 is the number of shares sold to cover is less than the remaining shares held, and again with no other sales. There is no tax technical reason for this outcome that I am aware of - is this a TurboTax programing error? How do I address this?
