You have to see how they report it. If it is included on your W-2, and you get a 1099 you will need to file some form or schedule that shows the 1099 income and backs it out as it will included on your W-2. I don't know what form that as I have an accountant do my taxes.....

That is correct. TurboTax Premier should be able to handle it because you will need Schedule D which deals with investment capital gains.

If you do it manually, or just want to check that TurboTax did it correctly, you back out the amount included as income on Form 8949 column (g), and put code B in column (f).
