Deductions & credits

The Form 8829 Worksheet of your return calculates a loss on Line 9, mostly because only 30% of your gross income is connected to the use of your home office. Because you have a loss, no home office deduction is allowed (calculations are not necessary). However, the excess can be carried over to future years when you have sufficient income.

 

To view the worksheet, click the box on Form 8829 Line 8, then click the magnifying glass to QuickZoom to the calculations.
