I am doing tax for my single-member s-corp. I use a portion of my home exclusively for the business. Where do I input home office deduction in TurboTax?

To enter your home office expense along with other common business expenses:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the Schedule C section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to Schedule C.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for Schedule C and select the Jump to link.
  3. Answer any questions about your business until you get to the Your self-employed work summary screen. Select Edit or Review next to your business.
    • You might want to enter your 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC1099-K, cash, and personal check income from your self-employment before you associate any expenses with your business, but this is not required.
  4. You'll be asked to select the expenses you know you had. Select Home office. You can also select any other expense categories that apply to your business. Select Continue at the bottom of the screen when you're done.
  5. On the Here's your [type of work] info screen, scroll down to the Expenses section, and select Start next to Home office.
  6. Enter the info about your home office.

Thanks for your reply but I am filing business 1120-s. I know I should set up an accountant plan, but where should I input the reimbursement as a business expense on TurboTax?

Reimbursement for corporation expenses paid by a shareholder would be reported in the appropriate business expense category (rent, mortgage interest, property taxes, home interest, home insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, etc.).

 

There is no tax form for the home office deduction on the S-Corp tax return (Form 1120S).
