At the current time, there does not appear to be a situation with the home office deduction that would require a patch.   It could be that the combination of income attributable to your home office and the other business expenses are limiting your home office expenses.  The key may be the answer to the question about the percentage of time spent conducting business in the home office.      If the home office expenses are limited and not allowed to be taken on the current year’s return, then they are carried forward to the next year as long as the actual home office expenses were being used and not the simplified method based solely on the square feet of the office.    There are some examples below that will illustrate this limitation a little better.  Take a look at these with respect to your own situation and see if the end result is what it should be.   Income Earned from Home Office   The IRS limits the total of certain kinds of home office expenses - the ones you would not be able to deduct anywhere else on your tax return, such as your utilities and repairs - to the income earned from activities in your home office. Although these expenses cannot themselves create a loss on your business, you can carry over any unused portion to next year's home office deduction.   Here's how it works. Let's say  - Your business income before any expenses was $10,000  - All business expenses that would not limit your home office deduction were $4,000, and  - The home office expenses were $3,000   1). If 90% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then you can deduct all of your home office expenses:  - $10,000 X 90% of income from the home office = $9,000 from business use of the home  - $9,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $5,000 available for home office expenses  - $5,000 is greater than $3,000 home office expenses, so you can deduct all of them.   2). However, if 60% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then your home office expenses will be limited:  - $10,000 X 60% of income from the home office = $6,000 from business use of the home  - $6,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $2,000 available for home office expenses  - $2,000 is less than $3,000 home office expenses, so you can deduct $2,000 of them this year, and carry the remaining $1,000 to next year.   3). In addition, if 30% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then you would not be able to deduct any of them this year:  - $10,000 X 30% of income from the home office = $3,000 from business use of the home  - $3,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $0 available for home office expenses (this will never be less than zero)  - You cannot deduct any home office expenses this year, but you can carry the entire $3,000 to next year.   @Biscotty4

@mjheindel    Sorry, shut down last October. TTX staff have said they will start including a similar valuation help procedure in their software, in one of the future updates to the tax software.    No current suggestion as to when that might occur, or whether they've decided it to skip it this season.   IF not done by the end of February, you might have to make yore best guesses based on a re-visit to a Goodwill or Salvation Army store to see similar items

Hi (again), I received a $400 "inflation relief check" in 2025 from New York State.  I'm trying to confirm whether or not it is taxable on my Federal return.   Google/Gemini implies that it is NOT if you took the standard deduction in 2023(!) but I'd like to confirm that answer.   Search results are below Thanks.   The New York State inflation relief check is not taxable for New York State or local income tax purposes but may be taxable for federal income tax purposes. How you account for it on your 2025 federal tax return (filed in 2026) depends on whether you itemized deductions in the 2023 tax year.   Federal Tax Reporting Whether you need to report the check as income on your 2025 federal income tax return depends on your 2023 federal filing method:  If you claimed the standard deduction in 2023, the check is generally not considered taxable by the IRS, and you do not need to report it as income.

I also have Windows Home & Business .   It works in mine.  It’s automatic depending on your birthdate.   Go back to Personal Info and check your dates.   Or you have a AGI over 175,000 (250,000 Joint) so you don’t qualify.   Or you are filing MFS.  If you are married you have  to file a Joint return.    You can switch to forms mode and find it.  If it doesn’t show Schedule 1-A in the list of forms you can open it using Open Form at the top of the left column.   
I did read the answer, however this is new because I have never had to wait for the irs to accept my taxes until they open for the past 20 plus years.
The return was filed in 2023 and not amended. I am sure I used TurboTax.
