Ledger infers what format you want to see your dollars in from how you
have written them in your ledger file. Try writing one of your
expense/tax inputs to 3 decimal places. If you rerun ledger it should
then display all dollar amounts rounded to 3 decimal places. This will
at least let you see where you are getting fractional cents.
