To Amy, when you say cost basis, do you mean box 1e? I found that field is overridden by turbo tax when it gets the info on rsu vesting day price, which is not correct. In my case, my distributed RSU shares' cost was adjusted due to wash sale rule when a portion of the lot was sold at loss for tax withholding purposes. How do I correct this turbo tax's mistake so to avoid double taxing?

 

On the other hand, do I have to choose the "employee stock" option if I know the exact cost basis of the RSU? Can I treat it as normal stock sale instead?

 

Thanks.
