How to input vested RSU if employer didn't issue W-2?

Hi Intuit,

While using Turbo Tax Premier edition, I couldn't find how to add income for vested RSU.

Previous years the vested RSUs were reported on a W-2 from employer.

But there is a new policy starting from 2019 that since I'm not working in US, employer no longer issues W-2, so I have to report it by myself.

I cannot find where in Turbo Tax shall I input this vested RSUs as income, since I didn't sell them, they are still in form of stock. and there is no W-2 for it.

(Stock is US stock, and employer is US company, and I'm US citizen.)

Thanks!

You would include the RSU in income where you report the income from your employer, just as if it was included in the W-2.

 

Your employer should be able to tell you the value of the vested RSUs

 

RSUs are taxed when they vest. Income is reported on the W-2 and shares are withheld to cover tax on the shares. Nothing else is reported on the tax return until the shares are sold.
