calculating adjusted cost basis requires value of shares sold to be greater than zero
I have a 1099-B. I have RSU's that "sold to cover" over 13 different vesting dates and I held onto the remainder for over a year. After a year I sold the cumulative of all 13 grants in 1 transaction. Cost basis wasn't provided on the 1099-B so I used the assistant interview. I entered the total shares, the sold date and then added each group of shares with their respective vesting date and market price on the vesting date, as well as the amount you paid in commissions if there was any. My problem is it won't accept zero for the shares sold to cover taxes as those sold to cover were in a previous tax year. I was told I could enter .001 for shares sold to cover for each group but that doesn't sound right. I'm questioning if I'm doing it right. How can I get around this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
