My Schedule C shows me a $32,673 net profit. However, every time I go through the Home Office Deduction section, TurboTax tells me “Not eligible in 2024" what do I do?

Gone through all of the steps to fix and I am almost 100 percent sure I am eligible.

When it asked you for what percentage of your income was earned from the Home Office, did you say less than 100%?  If so, that is likely what is limiting your Home Office deduction.

Some expenses, such as home office or section 179 depreciation can only be used to reduce your schedule C taxable income to zero, and not to create a loss. Excess deductions for these carry over to the next year. And you have to answer yes to both questions about exclusive and regular use, not just one. The area of your home office must be used regularly and exclusively for business to deduct it.

Or you checked the box on 32b saying Some Investment is Not at Risk.
