My employer included the Gross proceeds from the sale of stock to my income on my W2 I also received a 1099B from our broker showing that sale. If I complete 8949 it shows as income again. what should I do?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Enter the gross proceeds amount (from W-2) as the "Cost or other basis" in the 1099-B interview. This will result in "zero" gain for the 1099-B transaction (or a small loss if there were sales charges).
The income attributed to the grant is included in Box 1 of the W-2, and is used to calculate the cost basis for the sale reported on the 1099-B.
Thank you
