Working with tech support, I discovered that the issue is that a home office deduction cannot be taken when a business has a loss. So, the solution is to delete the home office credit completely. The IRS rules are that a home office credit can be taken only when a business has income. If a business has income but the home office credit is greater than the business income, the remaining home office credit can be rolled over to a future year.
The software has an error in that it attempts to input a negative number to offset the other business losses. Also, the description of the error is cryptic.
