I have a home office. I do not itemze. Under business expense mortgage interest do I check the box 'include for home office deduction?' Or report under Excess Mrtg Int?

Yes, you should check "include for home office deduction". Otherwise, the program would not apply the percentage of mortgage interest to your business deductions.

Do I still report the mortgage interest under Excess Mortgage Interest?

But it says "If you're not itemizing deductions, uncheck the Yes box include for home office deduction.
