Deductions & credits
There are two places within TurboTax where home office expenses may be claimed. Neither of these can be reached with a 'jump to' option.
The first option is to claim home office expense for someone who is self-employed and filing Schedule C for their business. You need to be working in the Schedule C Business Income and Expenses section of the tax return to see options for entering home office expenses. You can search and 'jump to' Schedule C to get to this section.
The second, less common option, is to claim home office expense for an employee being paid with a W-2. This is less common because unreimbursed employee business expenses may only be claimed for certain types of employees right now. This deduction was suspended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for tax years 2018 through 2025 for Federal returns. Some state returns do still recognize this deduction though, so it can still be entered as part of your return. You would find the home office expense for this situation under the Form 2106 Job Related Expenses section. You can search and 'jump to' Form 2106 to get to this section.
