You can identify the shares as company stock when you enter them in TurboTax. When you enter the Form 1099-B, you will be asked if you want TurboTax to help you calculate the correct cost basis or if you want to enter it on your own. Since you are having trouble with having TurboTax help you, it may be easier to calculate the cost basis of shares sold on your own and then enter that amount in.
Assuming you didn't pay anything for the restricted stock units (RSU's), which is typical, their cost per share is the amount listed on your W-2 as income from vesting divided by the number of shares vested. You can then multiply the cost per share by the number of shares sold, 9 in this case is seems, and that will give you the cost basis to enter for the sale amount reported on your Form 1099-B.
