I have my RSU vesting set to "sell to cover" meaning I sell stock to cover the taxes for the vested stock. I'm not seeing where that value is on my W2 or 1099.

I have my RSU vesting set to "sell to cover" meaning I sell stock to cover the taxes for the vested stock. I'm not seeing where that value is on my W2 or 1099.

When your RSUs vest, the income element is calculated by your employer and included in boxes 1, 3 and 5 of your form W-2. You do not see a separate amount on your form W-2.

 

A number of shares will then be sold to cover the taxation of that income element.
