How do I fix a TT math error?

Do I just file anyway and send the IRS a note explaining the $2.00 difference?  Or is there a way I can manually go in TT and fix the error?

What error?   We cannot see what you re looking at.

I have three W2s and one 1099R and the total amounts for Federal withholding on paper is about $2 more than what TT came up with.  That's some serious rounding off!

So change all the withholding to whole dollars.  Either leave off the cents or round them yourself when you enter it.  Then you can see if it's from rounding.  $2 isn't very much for rounding.
