Under Business Expenses - Home Office Expenses - the software won't let me enter an amount into the ENTER HOME REPAIRS field. Switching to FORMS doesn't work either.

If you are entering home office expenses in the Schedule C section of TurboTax, and you selected actual expenses instead of the simplified method and to enter for the entire home, in a Desktop version, you should see this entry field at the screen, "Enter expense for your entire home" (see screenshot below)

Your deductible home office expenses are limited to your net profit but can be carried over.

Repair and maintenance expenses are the ordinary and necessary expenses you pay to manage, conserve or maintain your property.

Repair expenses :

- Keep your property in good operating condition
- Don't materially add to the value of your property
- Don't substantially prolong your property's life

Examples of repair expenses include:

- Fixing leaks
- Fixing heaters, air conditioners, appliances
- Replacing broken windows and screens

If you spent money to enhance your property, restore your property, or adapt your property to a new or different use, then you paid for an improvement, not a repair expense. You deduct the cost of the improvement by depreciating it over a period of time.
