RSU withheld to cover taxes at grant reporting in Colorado
I received RSUs as part of my overall compensation in 2020, and those grants vested in 2023. Upon vesting/release, my employer's stock plan manager withheld some of the vested shares to cover federal and state taxes and the value of the withheld shares was shown on the statements I received. My W-2 did not include the value of the withheld shares in the taxes withheld, but it did include the value of the shares I did receive in the overall wage income. The federal 1040 allows me to report the withheld value as taxes paid without a W-2 or 1099, but the Colorado form requires me to provide copies of W-2 and 1099 forms corresponding to the total amount of state taxes paid. I don't know how to do that--I only have my plan statements indicating the value of the shares withheld to cover the state taxes. Has anyone else handled this in Colorado?
