1099 B is correct. What's missing is schedule D. 1099 contains only proceeds of your sales. Schedule D contains your cost basis and it will correctly show your PnL. Without having your cost basis IRS assumes that you pocketed a profit of 92K.

If company is so sensitive to it's stock price decline in terms of it's ability to continue it's successful operations then it should not go public in the first place. Otherwise it took a very risky move in my book by going public and as a result it deserves to be out of business.
