Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The number you enter for excess mortgage interest will show on line 14 of Form 8829. It will be subtracted from the total mortgage interest entered as listed on line 10 on that form. However, TurboTax wants you to not make an entry if the excess interest is included in the entry you made for mortgage interest reported for your home office. Either way you will get the correct deduction on form 8829, but it is best to enter $0 in this case as that is what TurboTax is instructing you to do.
