Should I report Cost Basis or Adjusted Costs Basis for my RSUs sold?

I sold 58 shares of an RSU grant and 46 had been traded for my taxes. I was able to find the fair market value and entered that detail also. Turbo tax seems to be calculating the Gain appropriately.

 

However, in an initial screen where it Turbo Tax says "Tell us about your 1099-B" The box 1e mentions "Cost of Other Basis". My 1099-B has Cost basis as 0.00 for this RSU trade. However my broker gave me a supplemental information document where an "Adjusted Cost Basis" is also provided. Do I need to enter this amount in the box 1e? When I enter this amount Turbo Tax does not change my Federal or State Tax due amount. Want to know what is the right amount to report here? Also why does Turbo Tax not adjust my tax due amount if I change this cost basis value?
