How to adjust a rounding error for Form 940

Hello!  When QB prepares the 940, the wage base times the .006 is $.01 more than the total of the 940 expense on the individual paychecks. The total remitted equals the total of the Federal Unemployment on the Payroll Summary report.  The Payroll Liabilities report shows $0 due but the Form 940 report states $.01 is owed.  Since the liabilities report shows zero due, I wasn't sure how to proceed.  I would love some guidance on this.  

Thank you!
