Stock sale on W2 and e-trade

[GrantMorgan2000]

I sold company stock options and received a W2 for that sale. I also must enter the sale through Etrade. How do I avoid reporting this stock sale twice if I have to enter W2 information and Etrade sale of same stock?

When you enter the Form 1099-B reporting the sale of stock, you can adjust the cost basis if necessary to reflect the income reported on your W-2 form associated with the discount on acquisition of the stock.
