Thank you for the continued follow-up. Please recall that there is only one home office, shared by two Schedule C businesses. I am using Guide Me, and I think I am down to two questions:
1) The "Summary of Home Office Expenses" screens at the end of the home office expense input sections shows different totals for Mortgage Interest in the "Entire Home" column between the two Schedule C businesses, even though I entered the same Form 1098 data for both Schedule C's. Why would this be?
2) On the screen that follows ("Enter Expenses Not Deducted in a Prior Year"), for one Schedule C, TurboTax carried forward the data from my 2018 Form 8829 lines 42 & 43. However for the other it did not. For the Schedule C that did not have its data carried forward, there is a number in the 2018 Form 8829 line 42. Turbo Tax Deluxe 2019 describes line 42 as "Operating Expenses Not Allowed Last Year." However the actual 2018 Form 8829 describes line 42 as, "Depreciation Allowable." I suspect the descriptions of the fields in Turbo Tax 2019 are intended to reference lines 43 & 44 of the prior year Form 8829. Can you confirm?
