Get your taxes done using TurboTax
One option to clear the error is to report your RSU as if it were a regular stock trade. If you know the relevant information to enter, i.e., cost basis, date sold, number of shares sold, sales proceeds, then you can enter that information and produce the same result as if you went through the RSU screens. Your firm should have sold some of your shares to cover the tax withholding and that amount should have been reported on your W-2. If that withholding amount has already been included on your W-2, then you do not need to separately enter that withholding amount. Thus, you can just focus on entering the sales information for your RSUs.
If you decide to pursue this option, when you have to select the type of investment , don't select RSU, but rather just select Stock (non-employee). That way, you avoid having to deal with the number of shares sold to cover the tax withholding.
