In other words, TT asks me twice (once for each office) what line 43 from last year is, so I'm not sure if it's double counting the deduction.
Allocate the carryover loss to the office that was on your 2020 tax return since that is the office that generated the loss.
Here is TurboTax Help information that will explain how to enter two offices.

Thanks, but that information does not address my question. I asked about form 8829 loss carryover, not about the % allocation of expenses between the two offices.
TT walks me through the office expenses for both offices, same questions each time. Both times it asks me if I had a loss on line 43 of Form 8829 last year. If I enter that amount for both offices, it seems like I'm taking the 2020 loss twice, one for each office. The two offices were due to a move. Please clarify.
Allocate the carryover loss to the office that was on your 2020 tax return since that is the office that generated the loss.
