Question

Home office

I just downloaded TurboTax Home and Business 2024. I am unable to find the place where you can enter expenses as deductible either for the home office only, (e.g. office supplies); or for services for the entire home for which TT allocates the percentage of the service based on the percentage of your home office area to the whole house (say 8%). 

I haven't had any problem with this since 2001, when I started  the home office and have been using TurboTax ever since. 

Does anyone have an idea as to how to get to this part of TT? 

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a business listed? 

Go to the Business tab (top)

Continue

I'll choose what to work on

"Business Income and Expenses"    START or UPDATE

Select "Edit" for the business on the list 

Scroll down to "Home Office Expense" under Business Expenses

Many thanks for your prompt reply KrisD.

There are other services and repairs done for the whole home, can I list the percentage area on that screen (e.g. electrical work, plumbing, pest control., etc.)

Those would be included as additional expenses in the home office deduction interview.   Home Office Deduction


Thanks.

I tried to navigate to the place where I can input the large balances, but I could not. What I am trying to do is use the balances of these amounts as some sort of deductions from my taxes. Could you please help with navigation? Thanks.
