If you and your spouse each have a home office, then you will each need to enter the details of the two offices into your return under each of your respective Schedule C businesses.

Be sure that if you are sharing the home office space that you each only claim a portion of the space, not the whole thing.  Each home office will also need to meet the requirements separately in order to be claimed as a home office for tax purposes.

The following TurboTax help articles should clarify how to handle this situation in your return:
