A.
Reporting Dollar Values - The intermediary rounds all values to nearest whole dollar. This
includes all amounts shown on lines 2, 4, 6, 8 and 80.
B.
Checking Reports - Before mailing the reports, it checks their completeness and
arithmetical accuracy as follows:
• Lines 1 + 3 + 5 = line 7 for all columns.
• Lines 2 + 4 + 6 = line 8 for all columns.
• Line 10 should be equal to, or greater than, line 9 for all columns, unless line 9 is equal
to "0" in any column; in that case, line 10 should also be equal to "0" for the same
column.
• For each line of the report column "i" (TOTAL), must equal the sum of the items in
columns "ii" + "iii" + "iv" + "v" + "vi."
