How are RSUs taxed. I had some vest in 2018....company withheld a number of shares for tax purposes then I sold the remaining shares. What is my tax liability?

The vesting is taxed as earnings on your W2, and your employer covered the taxes with the canceled shares. Your tax liability would be on the gain from any increase in price from the time they vested to when you sold.
