I think there is a problem here with 8829/Line 8 calculation.  I didn't have any office expenses (Schedule C/Part II);   I did enter all home office expenses (did not enter home office depreciation yet) and it populated 8829/line 8 correctly with Schedule C line 29 value, BUT when I added a depreciation home office expense, it added a 0 to Schedule C/Line13&28.  Once it did that, 8829/line 8 went down to 0 (now matching Schedule C/Line 28 instead of Schedule C/Line 29), and all the expenses that were originally in 8829/line 8 appear to be deferred to next year.    If I delete the depreciation entry, then 8829/line 8 goes back to the value I expected.   Note: business income is 20x more than the total of all these writeoff expenses and depreciation.  So, it can't be a too little income issue.  Also, note that I verified that I didn't have any additions/subtractions needed for 8829/line 8 based on the IRS link provided.  Am I missing something?
