home office deduction

Greetings, I am a self-employed using TurboTax HB.  I have about 24,000 worth of home repair expenses (roof, furnace, ceiling, etc.)  My office account for 38% of my home.  Turbox HB would not allow me to deduct the 38% of the 24k, saying I don't have sufficient net income. In this case. can report 12,000 and save the other 12,000 for next year deduction? 

 

Thank you in advance for any advice.
