Since you know your correct Cost Basis, say NO to 'Employee Stock' when entering your 1099-B.  Type in the info from your 1099-B (including the incorrect Cost Basis), and check the box that says 'the cost basis is incorrect or missing..'

 

Continue to the screen where you can enter your Correct Cost Basis amount.
