It is asking this because land is not depreciated but buildings can be depreciated. Part of the home office deduction is the depreciation for that portion of the home based on the value of the building but not the land.
It is common for the land to be considered 20% of the value of the total property although there are sometimes exceptions. You just paid $809,000 for the property, in 2022, so a case can be made to take 20% of the total price paid for the value of the land and take 80% of the total price paid for the value of the building on the property.
