Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, I went back and redid the sections several times. It was very time consuming to repeat all the steps. I tried making the square footage 300. That didn't work. The same error came up. I then changed the area to 299. That still didn't fix the problem. Finally, I deleted the home offices and re-add them as new offices. That still didn't work.

I have already paid for it and want to e-file. But each time, it will ask me to check those things that are obviously correct. In the "Check This Entry", I see the 299 in the form on Line C that says "The lesser of the square footage of your office or 300 " The entry box "Limit Square Footage" is also already auto-filled with 299. Is this a bug in the software? It is taking a lot of my time. Thank you for your help. The message is below:
