Form 1065 Balance Sheet rounding issues

I am trying to complete schedule L on Form 1065 and TurboTax introduces rounding errors that make it impossible to balance the balance sheet. How do I address these issues? Should I add an entry called "Rounding errors" or should I force some of the numbers there to different values to fix the balance sheet? What is the accepted practice?

the rounding error shouldn't be more than a few dollars. adjust the cash balance or any other account.

In no way is this an acceptable solution. The correct solution is for Turbo Tax to accept dollars and cents, and to stop rounding.

Not acceptable? It's literally how the data will be entered on the tax return. Are you under the impression that the IRS uses cents on 1065 returns?
