Added amounts from Box 1 of multiple W-2s not correctly rounded
I know it seems small but the incorrect rounding leads income to end in 0,000 which is a huge audit flag.
From IRS Form 1040 Instructions: "If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total."
When the two cents amounts are added (.48 & .44) it should cause the amount to round to the next dollar, moving the income number to 0,001, however the cents are just truncated. In just messing around temporarily adjusting numbers, if either one of the values is .50, even when I reduce the other one to keep the income identical, it will then truncate. I'm using the web-based premier version. How do I get TT to properly round the numbers in line with the IRS guidance?
