I have a home office. By entering property tax total in both "Home Deduction" as well as "Job Related Expenses, it causes the total in "Home Deduction" to show double the actual amount I paid. Should I be entering property tax total in "Home Deduction" area as well as "Job Related Expenses" area? Or just one area?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Since a portion of your property tax is used with your home office expense, you would only need to enter the amount one time. Entering it in both areas will double the amount.
There should be some guidance on the screen letting you know whether the entry should be duplicated in another area of your return. Also, when you go to the property tax section of Deductions and Credits there should be a notation on the screen showing that you had already entered an amount in a different part of the tax return indicating that the program has already accounted for the entry made for the home office.
