Investors & landlords

This is my first year with RSUs.  I have the same situation as kameleon, in that TurboTax asks: "Your RSU sale will have a portion of the shares reported as sold, and a portion that were traded to pay for the taxes withheld.  Enter only the portion of the shares you sold on your Form 1099-B.  We'll ask for the shares used for the taxes a few screens later".

 

But on my 1099, E*Trade broke out the shares I sold and the shares used for taxes into two separate lines.    It looks like the suggestion from two years ago is to just combine those into one transaction.  Is that still the advice this year?

 

For me, the two transactions were one day apart, so I'll have to just pick one day for the "Date of Sale", but it's all short-term, so I think it's ok.
