How to treat RSUs sold for taxes?

My company awarded me shares of stock (RSUs) this year, for which I was already vested.  But since I didn't fill out a w-9, the brokerage firm sold some shares to cover IRS backup withholding requirements.  So I have a 1099-b which shows the amount of withholding.  I'm following the steps through Turbo Tax to report the sale, but now it is asking me how I obtained them.  I didn't buy them, so are they considered a gift?  None of the other options seem to fit.
