After downloading the investments, each "buy" is always .01 cent off from the statement. why?

I have to go through each individual transaction and change it.  This is not acceptable as there are a lot of transactions in each of the investment accounts.

    I do regularly download from Fidelity ... and there's a difference between how Fidelity calculates values and how Q calculates them.
    Fidelity TRUNCATES to the nearest penny.  Q ROUNDS to the nearest penny.
    You're only option, regrettably, is to live with it.

    I have not downloaded transactions from Wells Fargo Management nor Fidelity Investments.  Others monitoring this category may have experience with these two. Sorry.

    It happens primarily with Wells Fargo and only in the investment stock purchases.  It does not do it in the Sells or banking transactions.  This issue did not occur with previous versions, only after I upgraded to 2019 subscription.
