My Fidelity 1099-B (employer RSUs, ESSP) has "(e") added to dollar amount in column 1e cost or other basis for some of the transactions but not all. See sanitized screen shot below. What does this mean? And how should this be reported in Turbotax?

Thank you!

The (e) is likely referencing a note toward the end of the statement from Fidelity. It will be some sort of explanation about what Cost is being reported. Often times, there needs to be an adjustment made for the cost basis.
