Investors & landlords

It sounds like you're on the right track.  Yes, you do report this on your tax return. 

 

Your employer most likely sold enough shares to cover the tax withholding, but you'll need to confirm with your employer (or its payroll office).  You're probably not seeing a significant change to your tax due because, as you say, your proceeds and cost basis were very close -- very little actual gain was realized from the sale.
