Investors & landlords
Josh_14's situation, as best I could make out, was that he was selling small business stock that he acquired due to the vesting of RSUs, and was using the RSU "guided" interview, but was never asked about the "small business" aspect of the stock.
As I pointed out, the RSU guided interview simply doesn't ask that question. My solution was to not use the RSU guided interview - there's no "Income Tax Reporting Requirement" to use that interview - and instead fill out the 1099-B exactly as it reads, click the "Guide me step by step" button, select the "uncommon situations" option, tell TurboTax you sold "Stock", tell TurboTax you "bought" the stock, enter the correct cost basis of the stock sold, (which isn't the $0 reported by the broker), and then you'll be asked if the stock you sold was small business stock.
