Because it appears that you did not sell the 40 shares, there is nothing for you to report on your 2021 tax return.  Because RSUs are a form of compensation, your employer was obligated to sell a certain number of the vested shares to comply with their withholding requirements.  While your employer's obligation to withhold taxes was triggered upon vesting, your obligation to report any gain or loss will not be triggered until you sell the shares.  Thus, until you start to sell some or all of the shares, there is nothing to report on your 2021 tax return.
