The letter from the IRS was generated because you did not report the information on the Form 1099-B, not because of your W-2 Box 14 information.  The Form 1099-B indicates that some of the RSU stock was sold and you need to report that as part of your return to show a gain or loss.

 

The information reported in Box 14 of your W-2 is simply there for information to let you know that RSU income was included in Box 1 of your W-2.  That amount in Box 14 does not transfer to your Form 1040 in any manner.
