one of the options disappears if a few pages prior to this, you unselect the check box to include mortgage interest for this home office. the direction instruct you to unselect this check box if you are taking the standard deduction.
the problem is that i had the itemized deduction set, but it dropped below standard because a fraction of the mortgage interest went to the home office.
i would actually prefer to take the itemized deduction and keep all the mortgage interest there, instead of some of it going to the home office. is this an option? can i chose not to include mortgage interest under home office but still include property tax, etc.
