Deductions & credits

It's called an employee home office work sheet because you are self-employed.  So the employee is you in this case.

 

Line 16b is dividing the home office deduction into two for two businesses.  If you have two businesses then this is fine.  You're cutting your home office expense in half and it should be the same on both.

 

If you don't have two businesses then you entered your home office twice and you need to delete the form 2106.

 

To delete a form-

1.  Click "Tax Tools" in the left hand menu

2.  Click "Tools" in the left hand menu

3.  Click "Delete a form" in the center screen

4.  Find the form 2106 and "Delete"
