Lets say you want the angles to cut 20px into the corners of rectangle measuring 200px x 100px.


First create the 200px x 100px rectangle using the rectangle tool. Specify in the options that you want rounded corners of 20px.
Return to the selection tool (F1) and from the menu select "Path" -> "Object to Path".
Select the node tool (F2) and then select all of the nodes by dragging the mouse over them.
Double click the node button called "Make selected nodes corner" (7th button in).


That should transform the rounded edges to square edges are you are looking for.
