If you did not sell your RSUs there is nothing to report. Keep your records so that when you do sell your RSUs, you can refer back to these records when you prepare your return.
Assuming you sold your RSUs, Box 1d should contain the sale proceeds from the RSUs that you sold. In other words, it should not include the number of shares that your company sold to cover your tax withholding obligations. Referring to what you posted, if the company sold 179 shares to cover the taxes, and you sold 437 shares, then Box 1d should include the proceeds from the sale of the 437 shares.
Now, for Box 1e, this can be tricky. Box 1e contains your cost basis. Your cost basis is the value of the shares on the day they vested with you. By vesting we mean the day the RSUs belonged to you and you could sell them or hold them without restriction. Because we are dealing with RSUs, you need to determine the price per share. Based on your question it seems as if you know what the share price was on the day the RSUs vested with you. Therefore, multiply the share price on the day the RSUs vested times the number of RSU shares. That is your cost basis. Don't include the number of RSU shares the company sold to cover your tax withholding obligation.
Regarding the RSUs your company sold to cover your tax withholding obligation, that amount has already been included on your W-2. Therefore, enter your W-2 information into TurboTax as it appears on your W-2. W-2 information is entered into TurboTax online in the Income & Expenses section, or if you are using TurboTax cd/download, in the Wages & Income section.
