So it looks like I have to close the first - where do I check to make sure I did that?
Simply work through the old office and when asked "Did you stop using this asset in 2020?" select YES, and continue working it through so you'll enter the date you closed the office, and anything else the program asks you for pertaining to that home office.
But then will it show two different offices or one?
You'll have two home offices listed. The old one you closed, and the new one you opened. If you did not use the $5/sq ft deduction in lieu of depreciating the old office, make sure you keep track of that depreciation already taken on that home office. it "will" come into play at some time in the future and you will *need* to know the total of all depreciation taken for all home offices as some point in your future.
