Home office deduction percentage

[tmfieldsphotos]

For 2016, I did not use the "Business Edition" of Turbotax. This year I upgraded to the business version andI seem to be doubling up on the office in home deduction. I filled that information in the business side, and I have it appearing again on the personal deduction side.  Do I zero out everything for home office deduction on my personal deductions and just use the business side or do I complete the home office information on my personal deduction side.  Isn't that a duplication?

The program is designed such that you enter you office in home information in the business section.  Turbo Tax will calculate the business percentage, and then transfer the non-business deductions which are allowable to schedule A  (Interest and RE taxes)  The totals for expenses  (from business and personal) should total to 100% of the costs, but not double the cost.  

If you allow the program to walk you through the process, your tax return should be accurate!
