RSUs do not always result in a Form 1099-B being issued for the "units" withheld to pay taxes.  RSU are NOT shares of stock, rather they represent shares of stock.  If your employer withholds units to pay tax, the stock is never issued, so it is not sold.  Even if this is the case, the vesting of RSUs is a taxable event, and the value of 100% of the RSUs that vest should be reported as ordinary income to the employee.  If your employer did not report the value of the units withheld to pay your tax, they made and error.  I suggest you talk to your employer about correcting this.
