I have a home office in my main home and included the total property tax paid on this main home under the home office details.ie, mortgage payments, insurance, utilities, property tax paid, etc. by including there it has increased my total property tax paid line item by an equivalent amount. this doesn't seem right, should I not be entering main house property tax paid under the home office itemized list?

Yes, enter your property tax and mortgage interest in the Home Office and remove it from the Deductions & Credits section.
TurboTax will then automatically calculate how much of this taxes and interest can be deducted for your home office. It will also add any remaining interest to Schedule A. See and example below.
Let's say you lived in the same home all year, and you used your home office all year. Let's also assume your home is 2,000 square feet and your home office is 200 square feet, so your office is 10% of your home. (See the attached screenshot below.
