I just received W2 from my employer with vested RSU pre-tax amount stated in box 14. I got my RSU vested on 2016 via E*trade and a portion of RSUs was withdrawn for tax before they were vested.
My questions are:
1. How can I confirm if RSU pre-tax amount is already included in my total W2 wage? (sorry I know best answer is to ask employer, but want to know if there are other options or they have to be put on W2 by IRS).
2. As I haven't sold vested RSU and tax was withdrawn, if they are included in W2 wage, I assume later when I receive any 1099 form from E*trade, I can claim the 'cost' for all RSUs are '0' because they are already taxed?
