I entered both offices separately. Entered:
No, did not live in same home all 12 months of 2017.
Yes, had a home office in all of my homes.
Yes, used this office the entire part of 2017 I lived there.
Yes, used only for business.
No, did not share.
Rented one, owned the other.
Not a daycare provider
Entered dates and months, 3 months for one, 9 months for the other.
Yes, stored inventory
Entered 300 square feet for home office size (doesn't change the error of I increase, decrease or zero this number on either form).
Entered 25% and 75% for "percentage of business conducted at" to equal 100% for the year.
Took simplified deduction
Entered expenses for each, adds up correctly.
No, for prior year deductions.
The result for each office adds up to the maximum $1500 deduction, but then I get the error when running a review.
