It depends on whether you were required to pay these expenses under the partnership agreement.
Your home office expenses fall within "unreimbursed partnership expenses", which are discussed in the "Unreimbursed Partnership Expenses" section of IRS Instructions for Schedule E at this link.
As explained by Community user PatriciaV, there are basically three ways a partnership agreement can handle this issue:
- specifically allow reimbursement for partner expenses outside the partnership,
- specifically disallow reimbursement for partner expenses outside the partnership, or,
- be silent as to reimbursement.
Only number 1 "specifically allow reimbursement" permits the deduction according to the IRS instructions.
If these expenses are allowed from you as a deduction, you enter them as a part of the Schedule K-1 entry. TurboTax will ask you about unreimbursed partnership expenses during the interview, and follow up entry at the end of Schedule K-1 input.
