Actively daily trade stocks from my home in 2017, TurboxTax isn't allowing my broker's 1099Bs and 1099DIVs already imported into TurboTax as business income

I actively daily traded stocks from my home in 2017.  TurboTax is not allowing my home business deduction because I had no income. My income from was brokerage statements imported into TurboTax on 1099Bs and 1099DIVs. How do I get TurboTax to recognize my 1099 income so I may claim my home office business expense?

You must be a section 475(f) "Professional Trader" registered with the IRS before you can do that.
