Hello!
I'm filing using Turbotax Home & Business and got the following alert:

"Form 2106 Adjustments Wks - Employee Home Office Wks: Line 11 must be entered."

They're asking for Line 11. I’m filing Form 2106 because I'm a qualified performing artist.

My question is: which info do I enter Line 11:

The amount of my NET self-employed income conducted at home office (after deductions), or,

the GROSS of all my self-employed income conducted at home office?

Thanks for any insight on this!

This amount is the gross self-employed income you generate from this activity.

Re: Line 12 "percent of wages from the business use of this home":

If, for example, 30% of my home space is used as my home office, do I write 30% on Line 12?

Or do I enter 100% on Line 12 because I indicated elsewhere on my taxes what percentage of my home is used for business, and so I use 100% of that space?

Percent of wages should be zero as this is all related to your self-employed activity. There is no deduction allowed for business use of home for an employee.
