RSU cost basis values were not imported from 1099-b

The RSU cost basis values were not imported from 1099-b, leading to a large gain that should have been a loss.  There were three sales, and a total of 22 lots with different purchase dates and cost bases.   Do I need to enter all of these manually?

You can edit the investment sale entries and enter the correct cost basis. Or you can delete the imported Form 1099-B and manually make one summary entry, or two entries if some of the sales are long-term and some short-term.

Thanks, Thomas. I actually did end up doing the latter, though I did start laboriously entering all the individual sales one by one, until I finally realized the totals were shown at the bottom of the statement, and I could just enter those.
