Apparently, I'm still getting confused, the numbers don't seem right to me. Here's an example (close to reality):
- I was granted RSUs in 2020
- In 2021, 22 of the RSUs vested
- In the W2 for 2021, Box 14 had an amount of $4000
- $4000 / 22 = $181.81
- The 22 shares were sold in 2022, at $72 a share (total of $1584)
- So this would mean the adjusted cost basis would be $4000 with a capital loss of $2416? - This is the part that's stumping me, it seems too high? Or does Box 14 on the W2 really inflate the FMV?
