401k contributions being rounded up in W2 Summary form, unable to file!

I am trying to file my return, but the Forms W-2 Summary page is throwing an error, as it has rounded up the amounts for my 12b and 12c (Traditional 401k and Roth 401k contributions). The split between the two is such that they both end in .50, leading to the summary page thinking that I have contributed $18501 instead of $18500, as it rounds up the amounts in both fields to the nearest dollar. When I attempt to override the form in any way, I am then unable to submit due to having modified the form. Would love to be able to file my taxes!

I would drop the .50, use whole dollars

I was able to get around this by editing the 12c line (roth contribution), which for some reason doesn't throw an error the same way as editing 12b or 12a does.
