RSU LT stock sale - cap gain calculated incorrectly
Hi, in September 2021, I sold RSUs that vested in April 2020, so it's a long-term capital gain. When I enter the basis in Turbotax, it's calculating my federal tax at ~23.8%, rather than the long-term cap gains rate of 20%. I can't figure out why this is the case - can anyone tell me why this is happening? I've entered 'long-term not reported' in the 'tell us about your 1099-B sale' screen.
Then, when it asks if this was a company sale, it asks a bunch of questions about the vesting, which was during 2020, the distribution was reported as ordinary income during 2020 with tax w/h, so I'm 1) not sure why I'm being asked to do it here for 2021, and 2) it's confusing because it was all reported in dollars, this is asking for shares.
Any help/insight here would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
