Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Could I get some more help on rounding? I get that the IRS rounds, but for a 1099Q form where boxes 2 and 3 must add up to box 1, now rounding is a problem. If i round the three amounts based on the 50 cent rule, boxes 2 and 3 do not come out to box 1's rounded value. Am I supposed to improperly round? I cant get past the screen unless I do.

 

For example, if

box 1 = $30.68

box 2 = $16.44

box 3 = $14.24

the IRS sees it as $31, $16, $14. But $16+$14 does not equal $31. So am I supposed to improperly round box 1 and say it is $30 instead of $31?
