Why can't I add decimals in Acrobat?

Question

I'm trying to put down numbers for a tax return, but I can only use whole numbers. What gives? Why can't I put down anything such as $100.59? Why does this have to the all whole numbers?

I guess if your accountant is inisting using whole numbers is the correct way that would be alright.

I will call tax Canada about this.

I just think that being exact would make sense, but I guess I'll find out soon.

"I just think that being exact would make sense"

I agree wholeheartedly! My accountant does not and tells me every year that the IRS wants whole dollars only.

Cheers,

Jane

HiThe U.S. tax office also wants only whole dollars. The answer to your question, though, is because the creator of the form chose Zero for the number of decimal places. If the form is locked for editing, then the properties cannot be changed.~ Jane
