Don't round until the end.

I'm not aware of any tax software that doesn't round to the nearest dollar. The more surprising thing to me is that you're allowed to use cents at all, as I've never seen it.

You aren't supposed to but if you do, you always round up. Not to the nearest.

Wrong. See the link above from the IRS.

> You can round off cents to whole dollars on your return and schedules. If you do round to whole dollars, you must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3. > > If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total.
