Business & farm

I have a similar problem for tax year 2020.   

 

The costs of running my side business were more than my business income.   

I'm taking the simplified Home Office Deduction (because Turbo's itemized method is an ABOMINATION)

 

Simple math shows that I had a LOSS this year, but as I add expenses to my schedule C,  Turbo simultaneously adjusts my Home Office Expenses downward,  always ensuring I show a PROFIT, instead of a loss.

 

4 out of the last 5 years, I have reported a PROFIT.  So why is it not allowing me a loss this year?
