Investors & landlords

I want to make sure I understand this (I have the same situation, Part 1, Box B checked & RSU Sale)

*IRS instructions* - Put B in column (f), put the correct basis in column (e), then enter -0- in column (g).

*TurboTax Option 1* - Use the corrected cost basis field in 1099-B input form, TurboTax fills in the difference in column (g) and puts "O" in column (f)

*TurboTax Option 2* - I override the cost basis field directly, 1(e) now shows the correct cost basis but TurboTax won't fill the column (f), so column (f) is blank

Both TurboTax options technically look like incorrect reporting even if the final answer (Net gain) is correct.

Which option do I go with for filing? Is there a way to manually report 8949 in TurboTax to match the IRS instructions?
