Thanks so much for your reply. I'm still a little confused. It looks like you're suggesting I put "cash method" for the required "method of accounting" field. However, the beginning of your reply strongly suggests I shouldn't be trying to take a home office deduction at all. I work for the federal government. I am not a contractor. I am an employee of the Department of Veterans affairs. I work from home full time. I thought I got a deduction for that. Is that no longer the case? Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
