Get your taxes done using TurboTax

bhingles,

 

I agree that there is a problem related to rounding.  This is, IMHO, the IRS's fault by forcing all commercial software to do rounding so that TurboTax is forced into situations such as what you encountered.  Indeed, I actually file on paper and put in all the cents for my taxes just to avoid the ambiguity.  It even saves me a buck every so often.  That said, the IRS has built-in code to allow a modest amount of deviation such as the one you are seeing due to rounding.  (The rounding rules are specified in the tax code and basically say to add the pennies when totaling a figure to round and enter onto a schedule.  They are not fully unambiguous, however.) From what I can tell, your difference should only have been $1 and in 99 44/100ths of the time that won't change your tax bill.
