Investors & landlords
You might not get a 1099-B as brokers aren't required to prepare them for "same day" sales. They do have to prepare though some sort of "statement" with the same information.
If you don't get a 1099-B then you don't have to report the sales. You might want to report the sales anyway as most same day sales result in a small loss due to selling commissions and fees. You can do that by using the "Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other" interview and telling TurboTax that you didn't get a 1099-B. You can use the RSU step by step process if you wish, but if you know the per share basis to use, that being the per share "fair market value" used by your employer to calculate the compensation for each lot, then it's easier to simply sell plain "Stock", tell TurboTax you "bought" the stock one time and the per share "purchase price" of the stock is that same per share fair market value used for that lot.
