California SDI is greater than the maximum SDI/VPDI withholding

I'm trying to file my taxes and I'm stuck in "review" step. I'm getting the following message:

"On Form W-2 from [...], you entered California SDI and/or VPDI greater than $1,229.09. Since the maximum SDI/VPDI withholding for 2020 is $1,229.09, you may have entered an incorrect code on an entry in box 14. Review your entries, and make any necessary changes."

My actual CASDI-E withholding is $1,229.12. TurboTax is apparently forcing me to change this number to $1,229.09 and won't allow to file without this change. I can do that, but wonder would it be legal for me to put a number in tax return that I know is inaccurate (even by 3 cents).

Yes, it is legal and you can adjust the California SDI withholding .03 cents.

Generally, for all tax returns, the following rounding rules apply:

Amounts under 50 cents round to zero. Increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar.
If two or more amounts must be added to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total.
