I understand and have allocated percentages that sum to 100%. The problem is that in the review check, they ask for "allocable home office expenses" and a box, but the total of home office expenses as specified in the check does not total Schedule C line 28 and I have no idea how to make these numbers match, either the total home office expense from both home offices (I moved last year), or the total expenses. It is not clear to me in Turbotax how this error gets fixed. I cannot just enter a number for total expenses for each business to satisfy the Review Check because that number does not come from somewhere else. The numbers for home office expenses specifically are derived from earlier forms and worksheets (and do not sum to total expenses). I need someone to walk me through this in TurboTax (and yes, I have allocated percentages for each home office based on how many months of the year I occupied each home office and I completed the worksheets for the two home offices, same business, used last year). Please tell me what I need to do. Right now in the box (Check This Entry) I entered the home office expenses allocated to each home office, and it keeps kicking this back out. Please tell me how I can talk to a "live" person who can help me not get this review error. Right now the numbers are not making sense, and I've gone through all the calculations for each home office as well as the calculations (using percentages of time) for all other business expenses and they do not add up to the number TurboTax tells me it should add up to.
Thanks!
Gary
