If you are having issues entering Employee Stock Sales, delete your entries in this section and enter your 1099-B as a regular stock sale.  When asked if 'employee stock', say No.

 

Enter your 1099-B as shown and check the box to indicate 'cost basis is incorrect' so you can then enter the correct Cost Basis (FMV on exercise date).  

 

The compensation element is already reported correctly on your W-2.  The amount in Box 14 is for your information only.
