RSUs shares withheld for taxes no sold. IRS letter received showing those shares as a sale

Upon vesting of shares, the company withheld 41% of shares. They did not sell them. So no 1099-B. 

 

I must have missed something when doing our taxes.  We got a letter from the IRS stating that a 1099-b showed the shares as sold. There is no 1099-B.  There is no letter or any documentation that I can find showing these shares were simply withheld.  

 

How do I explain this to the IRS with no supporting documentation? This is for 2017. The letter says that we do not need to amend.
