Thank you for this detailed list. My program does not have steps 3 through 6 or 9. Those questions do not come up. I do have a box to check that says X does all this business from home. I also have a question to answer that asks if there is any home office expense from prior years that was not deducted. So I still am not getting the home office deduction and the number showing the loss is the total expenses and not the tentative profit.
