Deductions & credits
@micheleaeyBoth of your messages posted but I've been busy with the holiday so just now answering you. It sounds like you have it all taken care of, although in a long tedious process to get there. I understand what you did to get the depreciation numbers but want to give you a tip if you don't know it yet. When you go to "forms" view instead of "step-by-step" you can see all the forms listed in the left hand column. You should always be able to find the depreciation schedule for all of your assets listed in that column. It's usually down a ways on the list. Also, every year when I'm done with my returns (I do them for family also), on the screen where you can save the return as a pdf for your records, I always save all 3 of them. There is one that is all forms legally required to be filed, then the return plus key worksheets, and lastly the return plus all forms. That last one has many forms, schedules, and worksheets. I always have a few pages that I print to include for my paper records, depreciation being one of them. You could still get that for your records through the "Forms" view or the longer pdf file if you want it on file.
Second, even though you are all done with your return for this year, you could start TT, choose to start a new return, then transfer last year's (2021) and re-enter everything for this year. That way your home office will be there so you don't have to set everything up from scratch next year (if you have income). When you're finished and everything comes out exactly the way your original return did, you could then save it with just a slightly different name than the first one to distinguish it from the other. Maybe put a 2022-2 at the front. If it's not a ton of work, I think I'd do that. That way all your home office history will be transferred over next year as long as you make sure to transfer the #2 return over instead of the first one. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, good luck to you and I hope this discussion can help others out there also.
