2025 form 8829 Part II, line 8 pulls from Schedule C line 28 instead or line 29, has this been fixed?

Yes, this was submitted to the development team for further investigation and possible program changes.  As of today, it should be working properly.

If you are still seeing the message that you are not eligible to claim a home office deduction, it could be due to a combination of your income attributable to the home office and your other business expenses wiping out any profit that could be reduced by the home office expense.  

Go back through the early questions of the home office section and double check your answers.  Remember that if you perform all of your work in the home office, then you would put 100% of your time was spent there for the period of time you had a home office.    

Or, if you are using either TurboTax desktop Premier or Deluxe, you will not see the question asking for the percentage of time spent working in your home office.  Instead, there is a question with a check-box asking if you conducted all business in the home office.  You can double-check the information using Forms by following the steps below. 

1. Click Forms in the upper right corner.
2. Look for Form 8829 on the left side of the screen under Schedule C and highlight this form.  
3. Scroll down the page to the section titled Line 8 Calculation Smart Worksheet.  It will have a box around it.
4. Make sure 100 in the box on line B.  If you did not use your home office 100% of the time for your business, but you also performed work in other locations, then enter the appropriate percentage of time for your situation.
5. This will then calculate the home office deduction.
