Thank you for your detailed response, I have examined in my return the lines that you stated in your response.
On Schedule C, Line 7=11225 and line 28= 2702 and line 29 is the difference = 8523. The business code is correct as last year and all previous years and the percentage of home use for this business is 100%. So the simple method should be allowed, What is interesting is on the worksheet to calculate the Simplified Method Smart Worksheet Line A says -2702 which is the loss of the business line 28 instead of taking line 29 of 8523. This is the problem as we cannot change the programming of Turbo Tax as we have no control of it getting that number.
Please investigate where it is getting the number it places in the Simplified Method Smart Worksheet Line A and you will see the mistake that needs correcting. I was in IT and have a Ph.D and I know what I am talking about.
Many Thanks!
