Okay, well how about this. The tax software asks how many months did my wife use the office at least 15 days of the month. I put 3 months... later in the software it asks about mortgage interest, property tax, and utilities... titled: "Tell us about her homes expenses." and specifically, "We're looking for total expenses for the home here, not the home office."
It carries in the interest rate initially reported from my 1098's, and asks about the property tax and other home expenses. Do I put only the expenses calculated for the three months, or for the entire year?
My confusion is, the software doesn't specify at this point if you put in total expenses for the year, and then if it will obtain or not the correct amount using the 3 months I entered previously...
Also, to make note.. the software asks if any of this applies for 2021, "my wife owned the home." I selected yes.. even though my wife wasn't added to the title until the refinance in August.. so if this is an issue (being partial year) it would be helpful if the software was more detailed to better help in a situation like this.
Thank you.
