Do you have sufficient business income to claim the home office deduction? Also, check to be sure that the percentage of income that is generated using the home office was transferred accurately.
It's helpful to actually review Form 8829 to confirm how depreciation is being calculated. If you're using TurboTax for Desktop, you can view the form using Forms Mode. For TurboTax Online, follow these instructions: How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?

Hello @PatriciaV
Thank you for your reply.
I have W-2 income - seeking to use the depreciation for my CA tax return. Sufficient income - yes!
No form 8829 (8829 is for business income, correct)? How can I get Turbotax to calculate home office depreciation as it has done in previous years? Thank you!
If you'd like, we can look at your return and see exactly what you see to help come to a resolution. The return will be scrubbed and won't include any of your personal details.
If you're using TurboTax Online:
Once you're logged in to your account,
- on the left hand panel, click on Tax Tools and then choose Tools
- on the pop up window, select Share my file with Agent
- you'll see a message saying you'll give us a copy of your tax return. Your personal information will be changed so we can't see any private information.
- click okay and you'll get another message with a token
If you're using TurboTax Desktop:
Please reply to this message with your token so that we can further assist you. Let us know all other states that are included on the return.
Hello @KeshaH, thank you for your help. FYI, I am using Turbotax Desktop for Mac. I am only filing in California. Token is attached.
