I went back to the Form 8949 instructions and found the following language on the second read, which seems to answer the question. I make an adjustment for the closing costs in 8949(g) to eliminate the gain.
"You received a Form 1099-B or 1099-S (or substitute statement). If you received a Form 1099-B or 1099-S (or substitute statement) for a transaction, enter in column (d) the proceeds shown on the form or statement you received. If there are any selling expenses or option premiums that aren't reflected on the form or statement you received (by an adjustment to either the proceeds or basis shown), enter āEā in column (f) and the necessary adjustment in column (g)."
