RSU vested (twice during the year) and company sold stocks for taxes and i got 1099-B reporting the same.

 

When i import 1099-B from Etrade it is showing me as gain and cost basis is 0.

 

What is the step by step guide to fill in turbo tax.

 

In my W2 form - RSU is  mentioned in Box 14.

 

Also, the vesting date and selling for tax date are few days apart and there is a marginal variation in cost/per.

 

What is the step-by-step instruction in turbotax to fill

    report sale on form 1099-B worksheet.   what's surprising is the 1099-B you got doesn't have the cost basis of the shares sold.  it is not box 14 on w-2 which is the total value not the basis of the shares sold.   your employer should be able to provide that info. if you don't have it.
