How to manually adjust RSU cost basis due to wash sale

[jesstr]

I sold RSUs at multiple times last year and accidentally triggered a wash sale. My broker said to add the amount of the disallowed loss to the cost basis for the remaining shares, which I sold later that year. 

Where do I adjust the cost basis for the RSUs in TurboTax? This is what I've tried so far:

• I added the correct cost basis for box 1e (on the Sale #6 of 7 page), but it's not reflected in the final cost basis on the Your Restricted Stock Unit Sales Results page. That cost basis seems to be calculated from the Market Price on Vesting Date field on the Vesting (or Release) Information page.  
• I tried updating the Price You Paid per Share on the Vesting (or Release) Information page, but that also didn't adjust the final cost basis.

Any suggestions? 

I'm using the downloaded version of TurboTax Home and Business for Mac.

For RSUs, I recommend not checking the box that for "Company Stock"  RSUs are relatively simple.  The value of an RSU on the date it vests is ordinary income and is included in Box 1 of your W-2.  That is also the cost basis of the RSUs if you don't sell when delivered.  If you just enter the sales transactions, and then adjust the cost basis for the shares that triggered the Wash sale you won't have to worry about the Restricted Stock Unit Sales Results Page, etc.

Thanks, that worked!
