Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you do enter your mortgage interest, mortgage insurance premiums and real estate taxes in the "excess" section of the home office routine since you are not itemizing your deductions. They may be deductible as business expenses even though you are taking the standard deduction. 

 

You should enter the entire amount of mortgage insurance premium paid on the screen that says Enter Mortgage insurance Premiums. On the screen that says Lets confirm your mortgage interest applies to this home, enter your lender and entire mortgage interest paid for the year. On the screen that says Excess Mortgage Interest enter you entire mortgage interest paid for the year. On the screen that says Any excess real estate taxes? enter your entire real estate taxes paid for the year.
