Should property tax amount be entered twice for both the personal residence and the home office or only once? If once, under which is it to be entered?

I'm working on 2018 taxes, but the previous answers appear to be for 2017 taxes and that version of TurboTax. I understand the concept of allocation of square footage percent, but uncertain how this years version is handling it.

If you are a W-2 employee you cannot use the home office deduction or any other job-related expenses under the new tax law.
