How do I complete the home office asset entry worksheet - Line 3? What value are they asking for?

This came up as an error, but I don't know how to complete the form.

What asset are you trying to enter?   Look at the Worksheet by clicking  Forms in the upper right, then look under home office on the left to find and click to open the Asset Entry worksheet.  If this is a home office for work you perform as a W-2 employee, the home office is no longer deductible according to the new tax laws, so what kind of work are you using the home office for?

Just to be clear, if my husband receives a W-2 and works from home 100%, we can no longer deduct his home office?  Is that correct?  Thanks.

Yes, in that case, you would want to delete the home office worksheet.  There are  no unreimbursed employee job expenses subject tot eh subtraction of 2% of AGI allowed beginning this year.  The higher standard deductions are supposed to make up for this change in itemized deductions.

Thanks. I simply worked around it and finally wound up deleting it.
