Turbo Tax Deluxe Expenses for Home Office

[mtl7770]

Up until tax year 2019, I was able to use Turbo Tax Deluxe to enter expenses for my home office.  But in tax years 2020 and 2021, things seemed to have changed.  It seems that Turbo Tax is now requiring me to upgrade to Turbo Tax Self-Employed for me to be able to enter expenses for my home office.  Is there a way around this?  Do I really have to upgrade?  The price difference is very steep -- $59 for Deluxe and $119 for Self-Employed -- a difference of $60!  I hope there is a way around this to still be able to use Deluxe to enter my home office expenses.

Thanks in advance for your much appreciated help!
