Yes, you can report Home Office expenses for two locations in one year.

In the Business Profile section, there are a series of questions about Home Office. Indicate that you moved during the year on the screen that asks Tell Us More About This Home Office. (Click on screenshot below.) When you finish the interview for the first location, add the second home office. The percentage of business conducted will be calculated based on the time you lived in each location. The total cannot exceed 100% (see screenshot #2).

When you finish the Business Profile section, go to Home Office Expense in the Business Expenses section. Both home offices should be listed here. Enter the expenses for each office individually.

Also click on the blue links ("Learn More") for additional information about two home office locations.

Unfortunately, this lead to the incorrect calculation of your taxes: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/warning-turbotax-2019-incorrectly-calculates-the-home-office-deduction-when-you-move/00/1688994/message-id/161407

This is presumed that one person had a home office. In our case both my wife and I had separate home offices.

Mine was for my company, Logos Environmental. Hers was for her use as an employee of the company she works for. They do not pay her for any home office equipment.

This does not answer my question. Her home office is required by the company she works for, and they do not pay her for utilities or other services required for her office. My home office is dedicated to my own business, Logos Environmental.

@jim S1941 If she receives a W-2 for her wages from the employer then she cannot deduct any employee business expenses on a federal tax return, including home office expenses. This is due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025,
