Question

DE9 form rounding in QuickBooks Desktop

My Q3 California DE9 form shows $0.01 due.  The rounding on line F3 (SDI employee contributions withheld) shows $216.52 and it should be $216.51 to balance.  This carries down to line H subtotal which shows $753.10 which should be $753.09 to balance.  All my payroll liability balance reports for the quarter show $0.00 amount due, my payroll item detail report also shows $0.00 due.  I’ve tried adjusting the liabilities manually, but this does not change my DE9 report; however, it does change my payroll liability balances which I do not want to do since I owe nothing.  I was on the phone with QB payroll helpdesk for over an hour today and they tried the same procedures - after nothing worked, their advice was to file “as-is” and California will just ignore the $0.01 owed.  This just does not sound right to me, any help is appreciated.  Thank you!
