Deductions & credits

Make sure you are not using the "simplified method" for home office deduction.  Then, check your answers in the Home Office section of your self-employment income. 

 

You can click the "magnifying glass Search" icon on the top row, enter "home office" in the search window and press return or enter, and then click on the "Jump to home office" link to check your entries in the Home Office section.

 

Note that your home office expenses (including property taxes and mortgage interest) show up as a lump sum on Line 30 of Schedule C.  Form 8829 will have the detail, including your real estate taxes and deductible mortgage interest.
