Given that TT does not appear to be willing to fix this problem and my variance is only $3 I am going with what @thomaswhitmire did - adding a dummy line item in the 1099B with the small correction required in order to make the totals add correctly. Even though TT seems to be saying small rounding errors like this are OK with the IRS I am not convinced.
My advice to TT is to sell what people what to buy. In this case, we want to buy a program that calculated taxes accurately (who thought that needed to be said!!). TT can quote chapter and verse aa to why this is not really needed but I don't care and neither do any of you on this thread. As the customers here, don't tell us why we are wrong to want what we want, sell us what we want. Instead, if you just want to defend what you've done and not change it, then we will be someone else's customers next year.
And TT better be prepared for a class action lawsuit if you are wrong and the IRS does in fact acre about this issue. If a whole lot of us get nailed by this TT will be hearing about it.
My advice to TT - spend the money and make the fix. You'll retain all your customers and eliminate the risk that you are wrong about what the IRS will accept and that there is legal exposure for us and you.
