RSU and W2 compensation income discrepancy
I am running into an issue with the "Enter Vesting (or Release) Information" section of the RSU step-by-step.
Turbo instruction clearly states "If you sold shares from the same group of RSU shares on different dates, you'll need to allocate a portion of the total shares and the shares traded for taxes to each sale".
In my case, I was granted 50 shares, and 10 shares were automatically sold (sell-to-cover), while the rest of the shares I did NOT sell. It seems like TT only uses the information in "Total Share Vested/Released" to calculate compensation income.
If I enter 10 in the "Total Shares Vested/Released" section that would work but TT's compensation income calcuation will be wrong because it has no idea how many shares were actually released (50). The end result is that TT's compensation income calculation will be < W-2.
If I enter 50 in the "Total Shares Vested/Released" section, then the compensation income calculation will be correct, but what do I put here when I sell the shares in 2022? Do I put zero for "Total Shares Vested/Released"?
