Deductions & credits

It actually didn't look like that at all but it did help me figure it out.

 

What I had to do was not take the standard home office deduction. When I chose to do it myself, it walked me through and THEN I got to a part that said "are you doing these for the whole house or just the home office" and I chose whole house. THEN it started going through utilities etc. 

 

I had already separated as you had mentioned my sq footage for the two jobs and it pulled out the % under each job correctly (it even said "this will be apx 5% of the house).

 

So thank you as your notes led me to the right place eventually but it wasn't where you had noted.
