Thread has been helpful, however I'm getting stuck on one point of logic here. My situation is that I sold some RSU in 2022 and received the requisite 1099b and w-2 from my former employer to account for the 15% discount. I fixed my cost basis based on the supplemental form received from my brokerage, and went through the prompts to enter shares vested (6) and shares traded/witheld to pay taxes (2). However, when I enter in the number of shares withheld for tax it increases my tax liability. How can this be? If shares were sold to pay taxes why would I owe more than if they were not.
