HOME OFFICE

I have a home office and turbo tax asked to give my office a name and now it is showing that I have 2 home offices. I am not able to delete the second home office.

Follow the instructions below to delete the second home office:

Launch TurboTax
Search for home office in the search box at the top and select the Jump to link in the search results
On the Your 2022 self-employed work summary screen, select Edit to the right of your business name
Scroll down to Expenses and select the trash can icon next to Home office. (If you have more than one home office, choose the home office you want to delete.) Select Yes to confirm.

If you do not have success with the instructions above, in TurboTax Online you can delete the home office by removing the forms. Follow these steps:

Launch TurboTax
Select Take me to my return or Pick up where I left off
Select Tax Tools (located in the left side bar), then Click Tools
Select Delete A Form in the Tools Center pop up box
Select Delete next to the home office worksheets related to home office deductions in the Review Forms List Screen (you may have to scroll down).

Thanks. All your suggestions failed. I saw in your directions you mentioned Turbo Tax online. I'm using TT that I downloaded. Maybe that is why it failed.

You might also try deselecting the "qualifying information" relating to the second home office which will cause TurboTax to de-certify it as a home office. Specifically, go back to your Business Income and Expenses section and scroll down to go Business Expenses and select Home Office Expense. Then at the screen, Do any of these apply to your home office?, uncheck the boxes except the last one, None of these. You will then see a screen indicating that the second home office does not qualify as a home office. TurboTax should then remove it as a home office.
