If you have a Schedule C business, and you have a version of TurboTax that supports business expenses, you can enter home office expenses in the business section.
If you are an employee, you enter home office expenses under Deductions and Credits, Employment Expenses (for Desktop), or Job Expenses for W-2 Income (for Online). There, you won't get a deduction on the Federal return but the information flows through to the State return if you prepare a return for a state that still allows Employee Business Expenses.
TurboTax provides step-by-step instructions for the home office calculation, and the option to use the simplified method.
The titles and organization of the different deduction sections vary by the version of TurboTax used.
If you have a different experience, please provide more details as to where you entered the information and where you are seeing it on the Federal return.
See this help article for information on entering the home office information. Answer the questions in TurboTax rather than making a calculation first.
Please see this TurboTax article and IRS Publication 587 for more information on the deduction for business use of a home.
