Approximately zero brokers do this, because RSU are still noncovered shares.

As a corollary, "hundreds of transactions" of covered shares collapsed into one summary line.
RSU is a pain though to enter. Technically you can enter a summary line and send in a 1099 to the IRS (last year was the first year that could be done electronically, so, fingers crossed it actually works correctly).
- plorkyeran 1y agoEtrade has always reported the correct cost basis for my RSUs. They do report an incorrect basis plus supplement for ESPP shares though.
- dmoy 1y agoReported to you, of reported to the IRS? As in if you just push through without a 8949 does the IRS come after you with a CP-2000 a few years later with a letter assuming 0 cost basis? Or does the IRS already have correct numbers?
