Home Office Deduction

I only worked for 3 months last year.  I can't figure out in Turbo Tax how to calculate the mortgage interest for 3 months only...

 

It keeps taking the whole year - I can't figure out how to override.

 

Thanks

You can limit the mortgage interest allocated to your Home Office by adjusting your Business percentage. Since you used your Home Office only 3 months of the year, the maximum business percentage would be 25% (3/12). This is true even if 100% of your business during those months was conducted from your Home Office.
