Deductions & credits

Thank you for your response, however you are referencing the qualification.  I am talking about the question that pertains to line 8 on form 8829.  Turbo tax asks me to enter the percentage of time I spend conducting business in the home office.  It then gives an example of a plumber saying this:

You are a professional plumber. You spend 40% of your time in your home office ordering supplies and parts, making phone calls, meeting with contractors, and performing administrative work. You spend the other 60% working at your customers' homes or businesses, working on their plumbing. Because you have other business locations for earning money, you enter 40 for the percentage of business income earned from your home office.

 

I earn money by doing my radon mitigations at the customer's home, but the sale is obtained when I am on the phone in my home office.
