Turbo tax rounds up on line 1040SR 1a. Why?

Two W2s - first one ends in xx1233.54 second ends in xx1238,52 which comes to xx2472,06. Turbotax rounds this to xx2473. Why? I believe it should be xx2472.

Per the IRS rounding conventions, each entry is rounded before summation.

 

So the first figure is rounded to $xx1234 before being added to the second rounded to $xx1239, which gives you the total of $xx2473.
