compensation income in box 14 on W2 for RSU/ SSAR. Employer stock transaction worksheet and capital gain loss transaction worksheets completed.There is no cap gain/loss. Nothing flows on schedule D? Uncertain if something is incorrect because the 1095-b isn't being reported anywhere? Think I have another step I am missing.
Just want to make sure I understand the background of your question, so that you can get the answer you need.
Your question says the compensation is for RSU and SAR and amounts are reported in Box 14, which often contains informational items. Since it's not uncommon for RSU to be delivered in cash and SAR are phantom plans, it leads me to believe there's no stock transaction at all.
Are you sure there is a 1099-B for these? If shares from employer stock option plans are sold, I'd always request copies of the grant and exercise documents because most individuals have little idea what proper reporting of these transactions entails
I have seen W2s from this company before and it is included in box 14 every time. I do have a 1099-b with only proceeds and no cost basis. TP provided me with statements that had the information I needed to calculate cost basis/capital gains etc.
People come to Accountants Community for help and answers—we want to let them know that we're here to listen and share our knowledge. We do that with the style and format of our responses. Here are five guidelines:
Keep it conversational. When answering questions, write like you speak. Imagine you're explaining something to a trusted friend, using simple, everyday language. Avoid jargon and technical terms when possible. When no other word will do, explain technical terms in plain English.
Be clear and state the answer right up front. Ask yourself what specific information the person really needs and then provide it. Stick to the topic and avoid unnecessary details. Break information down into a numbered or bulleted list and highlight the most important details in bold.
Be concise. Aim for no more than two short sentences in a paragraph, and try to keep paragraphs to two lines. A wall of text can look intimidating and many won't read it, so break it up. It's okay to link to other resources for more details, but avoid giving answers that contain little more than a link.
Be a good listener. When people post very general questions, take a second to try to understand what they're really looking for. Then, provide a response that guides them to the best possible outcome.
Be encouraging and positive. Look for ways to eliminate uncertainty by anticipating people's concerns. Make it apparent that we really like helping them achieve positive outcomes.

No question about income inclusion on the W-2, just how the units were delivered.
So long as you're clear on the basis from the grant/award documents, I'd enter the details just like any other stock transactions.
