where in the software do I deduct home office expense

If you are self-employed you enter home office expenses on your Schedule C with your other business expenses.  If you are using online software you need to use Premium for a Schedule C.

Federal -To deduct office in home expenses you must have a business profit. If you show a profit, you have a choice:

simplified office in home - just enter the square footage of your office

actual expenses- enter all of your costs related to the home office, including utilities.

 

Some states allow a home office deduction for employees who work from home.
