Thanks Kat for your help.
I get 4 error messages in the Smartcheck. The first 2 for office A and second 2 for office B. Note this is for my spouse's home office, I don't have one.
Schedule C - form 8829 (office A): Elect simple CY should not be elected for more than one copy of form 8829 for each business. (I entered selection "elect simple meth CY - YES)
Schedule C - Form 8829 (office A): LN C of simple method wks. The spouse has elected the simplified home office expense method and a total greater than the maximum allowed 300 square feet is entered on forms 8829 (I entered Limited square footage 275)
Same errors for Office B, I entered YES and 250 to the above for office B.
TT gives me a home office deduction of $802 for A (when we lived at this home for 7 months) and $521 for B (when we lived at this house for the other 5 months). This total is less than the 1500 limit, and what I expected. 250 ft2 * 5 $/ft2 * (7 months/12 months) + 250*5*(5/12) = $1323.
Any idea what i am doing wrong?
THANKS!!!
