Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, but you should assume they are already included in your W-2 box 1 wages if they vested in 2021.  Likewise the taxes paid from the shares sold should be included in all the withholding figures on your W-2.  It's important to check with your payroll department to see exactly what is reported on your W-2 so that you do not duplicate any entries on your tax return. 

 

It would be very unusual for your company not to include all of this information on your W-2, as required by the IRS.  If the only shares sold were the ones sold by the company to pay your taxes, then this would be the only separate, manual entry you should need.  Your cost basis has been covered earlier in the thread.

 

Sometimes employers do use box 14, as noted by our awesome Tax Expert @GeorgeM777, however not always.
