Item "taxable amount" is less than item price

I have an item that is priced at $1.00, but when I place a test order with a taxRate, it's showing a "taxable amount" of 99 cents. Why is this? It's causing the tax to be off by a cent.

Here are the payment details:

It doesn't look like you are calculating the order's total properly (it looks like you are rounding down instead of up) see "Calculating order totals" here - https://docs.clover.com/docs/working-with-orders.
