Investors & landlords

In your example you stated that you only sold 250 shares for taxes.  Yet your screenshot indicates that you sold 1,000 shares.  Did you copy these figures from an actual 1099-B?

 

Also, your per-share cost basis is the compensation you received at vesting (which is reported on your W-2) divided by the gross number of shares you received, including those sold for taxes.
