This is a known issue and is being addressed.   Check back later in the week to finish filing your taxes.

I read a post that said to try leaving the cents off of the Medicare tax on your W2 box 6.   Box 6 has to be exactly 1.45% of box 5 or less.

But if we leave off the cents isn't that putting a different amount than our W2 and would that be fraudulent? Mine are exactly 1.45%.

No, that’s ok.  The IRS doesn’t want the cents reported anyway.   Box 6 doesn’t affect anything else on your tax return.   This is just for the program.
