Brokerage lists gross sales from stock option exercise with no cost basis or tax withheld which are not accurate, and refers to Form 8949 but I can’t find?
I was sent a tax sheet from Merrill Lynch that merely listed sales proceeds of $15000 as sales proceeds, with no tax withheld. It says "see Form 8949" but I couldn’t find this in Turbotax software. The $15000 is actually the gross value of the stock exercised, but does not take into account how much the cost of the stock was for me to purchase, and the fact that taxes were actually withheld for the net transaction as indicated in my company W-2. I’m concerned that I wasn't able to address this Merrill Lynch info or Form 8949 in my tax return, and that this $15000 somehow will be associated with my return with no withholding when it actually was addressed by my company’s W-2. Should I just ignore it or is there something I need to do to fix this?
