Tax Form Currency Field Handling

When entering precise decimal currency values (e.g., $44,152.11) into tax software forms, the system may auto-round to whole dollars on blur. Verify the actual stored values via JavaScript inspection rather than relying on visual display. If IRS guidelines allow rounding (which they do for individual returns), the rounded values are acceptable—document this decision to avoid unnecessary retry loops. For strict cent-precision requirements, test keyboard input vs. programmatic form_input to determine which triggers proper decimal handling.
