I somehow accidentally entered two home offices when I only have one. I can't figure out how to get back to the home office info page to delete the second one.

Here are instructions to go to the home office expense if filing a Schedule C for your business.

 

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Search for Schedule C and select the Jump to link in the search results.
  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-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 What kind of expenses did you have for [type of work]? 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. Edit the info about your home office.

Thank you for your reply, I found this info earlier but I don't understand it. There is no function to search within my tax return. The only search bar is for searching within TurboTax help docs. Can you please explain where to find the search function for my return? Thank you.

Nevermind, I just realized there is a single search bar for both my return and for help docs.
