I’m only entering expenses for 2021. However when I was taken into the screens for home office expenses it’s displaying the 2019 value and then a field under a 2020 label. Nowhere to enter 2021 values.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 09 Feb 2022 23:55:40 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-i-m-filling-out-home-office-expenses-and-it-is-asking-for-2020-data-instead-of-2021-why-woul/01/2464118#M233453 adk-andrea-gmail 2022-02-09T23:55:40Z Re: I'm filling out home office expenses and it is asking for 2020 data instead of 2021.

The program will take your information and process it correctly for 2021.

After a few tries I found that if I enter my 2021 data in the 2020 fields it populates the total deduction under 2021 back on the summary screen.
