SARs Reporting Sale

[DianeW777]

Column (e) is for the cost basis of any sale including stock appreciation rights (SARs).  The cost basis is not usually reported to the IRS in this situation so Code B would be appropriate.

(A) Short-term transactions reported on Form(s) 1099-B showing basis was reported to the IRS (see Note above) 

(B) Short-term transactions reported on Form(s) 1099-B showing basis wasn’t reported to the IRS 

(C) Short-term transactions not reported to you on Form 1099-B

Same situation with S-SAR exersale from same Swiss company.

I entered the 1099-B info into TurboTax Premier and checked the "Allow me to continue with incomplete info" because the 1099-B does not give a cost-basis. I selected NQSO as the option type. However, TurboTax gives a Total Proceeds Summary screen with an incorrect calculation of the Selling Price per Share that I cannot change (it takes the Total Proceeds from the 1099-B and divides it by the number of shares). This causes a small loss amount which is not real.

I don't see any option to adjust the Cost Basis. Am I looking down the wrong path?

I am in similar situation, my question although SSAR were issues in 2015 and if W2 is showing SAR for the year when I sold them (in 2022) then technically that (2022) will be the vesting year?
