I traded future options last year and have a profit of $299.50. When I fill out the information for box 11 from the contracts and straddles section it won't let me enter the cents (.50). I can only enter in $299. Do I round up, leave it as $299 or is there an issue?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You can round on all input into your tax return, unless you're adding something up, like a list of medical bills.
49 cents or less rounds down
50 cents or more rounds up
I have a similar issue but for the correction, I need to enter $0.03 but it won't take it at all. How do I proceed? It doesn't make sense to round up to $1 and I cannot round down to 0.
At this point, I would not enter this at all or enter it as $1. This will not impact your tax return one way or another.
So, I tried to continue on but now that I am about to file, the system won't allow me to continue unless I enter some value. Every time I try to enter an alternate value (i.e. $1, $2, $100) it keeps reverting back to the same error with the original value in place.
I am not sure how to navigate this error. It is part of my Fidelity investments 1099-B forms for Disallowable Wash Sale Loss.
@jaylew5025 If you imported the 1099-B, delete it and re-enter it manually, and do the rounding in your entries.
