Foreign Tax credit for RSUs received while working abroad and sold while in the US

Hi,

I am a US citizen since birth. I lived outside the US for a few years and I received RSUs which fully vested before I moved back to the US.

I sold those RSUs a year after moving back to the US and paid taxes abroad (there is a tax treaty).

I received a 1099-B for 2023 with nothing but the proceeds shown. (No cost basis or any info, all "Undetermined")

 

1. How do I report the sale? (When I report the 1099 -B it creates a significant tax liability obviously) 

2. How do I claim the credit for the foreign tax paid? 

3. The foreign tax paid is higher than any tax liability here in the US so does that mean I will owe no tax for the RSUs that I sold?
