It was sold to cover your federal withholding and is also included in box 2, of your W-2.  The buy and sell will be basically the same dollar amounts due to the sale occurring when you were awarded the shares. (Income reported on your W-2, as well as federal withholding).  

 

The income reported in you W-2 is the amount that becomes your cost basis (and if you paid any discounted amount for the shares).

 

You should have income on your W-2 and then a sale reported for the shares the employer redeemed/sold on your behalf. Report the 1099-B separately under Investment Income instead of in the RSU section.
