RSU Reporting - Step by step option vs direct option in form 8949
Last year, I used the Step-by-Step option of entering my RSU sales for each lot. I entered the information of my RSU sales that included the details of RSU vesting, shares traded for tax and so on.
This year, instead of using the step-by-step option, I directly entered the adjusted cost basis and gains and losses for each lot from the information provided in my broker's website. The total taxable amount was calculated accurately in either case. However, last year's form 8949 shows my cost or other basis (box e) as 0, the amount of adjustment in box g with the ordinary income realized in each lot and box f filled with code O. In this year's form 8949, the adjusted cost basis was entered in the box e and boxes g and f are filled as 0.
Is there any problem in reporting it as I did for this year? Would I have to amend this form and file it with step-by-step? Please advise
