Perhaps the reason why the total value of your RSUs is so inflated could be that your per share market price is incorrect.  The per share market price is entered from the screen Enter Vesting (or Release) Information.  So you might consider going back to that screen and reviewing your entries.

 

In the alternative, as it appears you know all of the relevant information about your RSUs, you might consider entering the RSUs as you would a regular stock transaction.  Thus, the vesting date would be your purchase date, and the per share market price on the vesting date would be your per share cost basis.   Usually, but not always, the market price for the RSUs that were sold to cover the tax withholding, is also the market price for your RSUs when determining the cost basis.  

 

There is no need to be concerned with reporting the RSUs as compensation income, and neither the tax withholding, as such amounts should have already been reported on your W-2.
