Investors & landlords

Thank you, rjs.

The last paragraph was what I was looking for.

I had sold non-qualified stock options which were included in my W-2. And had to change the cost basis so that the gains would not be double counted.

I noticed that the adjustments have to be added to the difference between the proceeds and the cost basis. Turbo Tax does not allow a negative dollar amount in the adjustments. So the overall gain is going to be larger by adding adjustments. 

Is there a way to subtract the adjustments?

Otherwise, do I just increase the cost basis without adjustments?
