Balancing rounding discrepancies in state unemployment insurance register

QuickBooks calculates our state unemployment insurance at the correct rate, but it does not round the total as our state does. E.g., QuickBooks totals all UI liabilities to $494.78, but my state only charges me $494. This creates a discrepancy of <$1 every quarter. Consequently, I cannot reconcile that account, and our payroll tax center shows multiple small overpayments.

 

What is the best practice to account for these past payments? How should I record these going forward? Should I mark that item as paid, then go and edit the amount in the payroll tax center's payment history? This has allowed me to match my bank transactions to the UI payments, but it leads to the aforementioned reconciliation and overpayment issue.
