I entered my W-2 info and then specified that the income is "Nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments...". Problem is during the Smart Check, the amount on the W-2 is ###.50 but the software rounds up when it puts it into the form. The Smart check then give an error saying that "Difficulty of care payments included in box 1 should not be larger than the wage amount in box1". Anybody know a workaround for the bug or can it just be ignored?

After you entered the W-2 and got the screen asking about if it's "Nontaxable Medicare waiver payments that qualify as difficulty of care payments" and then CONTINUE didn't the next screen ask if it was

All of it

None of it

Some of it

If you select All of it, the program should not ask for a dollar amount.

Is this what happened and the program gives you an error?

Yes, it displayed the screen where I said that all of the amount applied so I didn't have to specify an amount. The problem is when the W-2 is displayed in the Smart Check, the wage amount has the 50 cents but line 13b has been rounded up (e.g. wage $1.50 but 13b would have $2.). The error says that the 13b amount shouldn't be more that the wage.
