Thanks so much JG2222. I had the same problem (Line A of the Simplified Worksheet for Form 8829 grabbing only expenses and ignoring income, even though I answered that I do ALL of this business from my home office). In my case I had to delete both my Schedule C and my Form 8829 and put them both in using the Forms view to input the information. Then it worked. Your answer was the only helpful one I found -- thanks so much!!
TurboTax clearly has a bug here, as you can see from the large number of people asking the same question. They keep answering that it is related to specifying that you use the home office for more than 0% of the operation of the business. The problem is that in at least some variations of the Easy Step process, it just doesn't ask the question in % terms, but only "do you conduct ALL of your business from this office" with a checkbox. Even when you check that, it seems to ignore the income from your business and use only your expenses in the Simplified Worksheet line A. I'm using the downloaded version of TT Premier 2024 on a Mac and have the latest update (as of Feb 26, 2025). The cynical me is wondering if they intentionally get this wrong in every version of TT other than Home and Business.
