The cost basis thing was always more of a problem for me with ESPP. However TurboTax imported the sale data the cost basis would be 0. For some reason it always took me 2 or 3 tries to find where to put in that info in TurboTax.

Yes, I have always had the same problem with ESPP lots with TaxAct, importing data from Fidelity. Fidelity reports a non-zero but incorrect cost basis, but for some reason the importer doesn't like those line items and imports them as zero.

I've never had a problem with cost bases for RSUs, they get imported just fine.
