It befuddles me that TurboTax could make the decision to round at the individual transaction level for their returns this year. For example, many transactions that should obviously net out to zero on Form 8949 end up resulting in a 1 or -1 because all the inputs are rounded. It just makes for a sloppy return. Did TurboTax not do any quality control testing of their software this year? Or ask for customer feedback? It is like someone at TurboTax goofed and read the rounding part of Form 8949 as a requirement. All it does is create headaches for TurboTax customers and in some cases forces the customer to come up with a workaround. I hope they get it fixed soon.
