Hope this helps!
Check box b for basis not reported. There has to be a place where you can check that. Thats weird that you are getting everything back if you put the tax withheld amount but I can't tell until I look at the return. As long as you put that amount of taxes paid in the return, you are fine. Go ahead and file it.
