I am once again struggling through my RSU entry. IDK why TT can't make this easier in the software.
Example: 29 shares vested on March 1. 11 were automatically sold for taxes, leaving me with 18 to sell on my own. I sold them a few days later. Each "sale" is listed separately on my forms from Fidelity.
Do I enter 2 separate transactions? if so, how much do I enter as "sold for taxes". I seem to recall having to calculate a portion of the 11 and put a smaller number in each sale entry in the past... but the elude me after a year of trying to forget about this constant struggle.
Or do I do some different math and enter 1 transaction somehow?
Would be super nice if Fidelity would be importable honestly... but that's a gripe for a different day.
I recommend entering each transaction separately just as it shows on your 1099-B.
No need to enter "sold for taxes" anywhere in TurboTax. When Federal income tax is paid with your RSUs, that amount will be accounted for and reported on your W-2 in box 2 Federal Income Withheld.
Here's a 1-minute video that gives you a little more info and gives you steps to get back to that section in TurboTax.
