Can you please clarify how the state and federal taxes withheld were paid in to the government? You state " The federal 1040 allows me to report the withheld value as taxes paid without a W-2 or 1099" I interpret this to mean that federal and state income taxes were paid in for the stock shares not issued to you, but how did your employer pay those taxes in to the IRS and state department of revenue without reporting them on your W-2 form?
I think you are trying to reported taxes withheld that aren't reported on your W-2 form. The only way I know an employer can pay in payroll taxes for an employee is to do that through a W-2 form reporting.
It is possible your employer only paid in social security and Medicare taxes as reported on lines 4 and 6 on your W-2. This is typically the way it is done, and any federal income tax withholding would be reported in box 2 on your W-2 form. In this case, there would be no additional taxes to be accounted for.
