Yes, you can do as you suggest. As long as you enter the correct cost basis, sale amount and the correct acquisition and sale dates you will be in compliance. Assuming you paid nothing for the stock shares, the cost basis of each share would be the fair market value of the stock on the day they vested plus any additional amounts you paid for commissions or the like. Multiply that by the number of shares sold and you will have your cost basis to report for the sale.
