My company awarded me RSA. After one year they vested and my company requested the employees to pay the withholding taxes based on the Fair Market Value with a check. Both the withheld taxes and the vested value of the RSA are reported into my W2 as income and withheld taxes. Few days after the vesting I sold my RSAs for a slightly lower market price, realizing a capital loss. My company does not provide us the 1099 form (the actual RSA sale happens abroad). In my return I'm reporting the capital loss due to the RSA sale, but then Turbotax asks me whether "the taxes were withheld for this sale". Depending if I say yes or no, my return dramatically swings, from me owing (no), to have a tax credit (yes). I'm unsure because from one side I did give the check to my company (therefore the taxes were withheld), but on the other hand the taxes withheld are already reported into my W2. if I say yes, am I claiming the withheld taxes twice? Thanks for your help
