Did not know Delux would work if claiming a home based business. I will have to look at that since we write off a lot to the home business. I just follow the prompts. If I was a tax accountant I probably wouldn't need TT to do this. I didn't just "choose" the most expensive one. I went through the prompts in Delux last year and it said I should move to the home and business one to do what I needed too. I will check out Delux again. Also, my Father-in-law uses it for his home based business so just going off of what I know works.
All I can tell you is following the prompts and entering all my data, I get the most when I claim everything. When I looked at the forms and specifically schedule C, I see a lot on there. So I did a test and completely removed all of the data in "Home office Expense" and it made a net difference of over $6,000, so yes I do need that write-off. My wife's business uses our entire basement and an office space on our main level (and that's legit not like other people that BS on their taxes). We get to write off the extra taxes on that as well.
