How Do You Report Stock Sales on IRS Form 8949 If the Cost Basis Is Wrong on Form 1099-B?
myStockOptions.com Mar. 17, 2015
"Find the column entitled Adjustments to gain or loss, which is column (g) in both forms. On Form 8949, enter in this column the amount of stock compensation that was not included in the cost basis (Box 1e) reported to the IRS on Form 1099-B. Part of your W-2 income, this will be a negative number (in parentheses), as the incorrectly low basis reported on Form 1099-B will have made your gain too large (or your loss too small). In addition, you insert Code B in column (f). This indicates that the basis on Form 1099-B is incorrect and should be higher than what is shown."
