two points- as was noted by another commenter, this is a relatively new change in turbotax-- so it has NOT been around a long time and thoroughly worked out
SECOND-- there is a difference between "MAY use rounding" and "MUST use rounding" - where does Turbotax get off DICTATING that all users now suddenly MUST use rounding?????? That is a big part of this issue. Particluarly for small business owners, who are linking to business records, and often have numerous 1099s of various types for their revenue - and who actually use accounting principles and REAL NUMBERS in their bookkeeping, this mandated use of rounding is a nightmare to reconcile with business accounts.........
And while some of you may be perfectly fine with giving the government extra taxes that you do not really owe, those of us who are right on the edge of triggering thresholds that might affect other things- like an increase for a full year in our monthly charge for medicare......or a disqualification for some other benefit...........the REAL NUMBERS MATTER - and it is not TURBOTAX's role to remove that decision from us -- plus this change to force rounding was not well communicated to anyone -- we found it in the middle of doing the tax returns.........
there should be a way to turn off rounding so we can use the real numbers- since it is now clear that TT does not care about fixing this, I will not use it again for the next cycle.........long time TT user, but am fed up
