Thank you for your response.
I entered the M-N entries exactly as you wrote:
vested:M-N, sold-for-taxes:0 -> sold-for-cash:M-N
The problem is with the N entries, where I entered:
vested:N, sold-for-taxes:N -> sold-for-cash:0
This triggers the "Line 25. Column (b)-2 should be entered" SmartCheck error.
Two questions:
1. If I were to report the N entries as you wrote,
wouldn't that let TurboTax miss the amount of taxes withheld already,
and TurboTax will end up having me pay double tax on those transactions?
2. If I'm not mistaken, you seem to suggest reporting the correct transactions,
and I could only do that by merging the 1099B entries such that I will have
these entries:
vested:M, sold-for-taxes:N -> sold-for-cash:M-N
That I won't get chasen down even that the number of entries are less than
the reported 1099B? Is this what you suggest?
Thanks again...
