For total income earned in my home office, do I provide the value from box 1 or box 3 on my w2?

Since you are a W-2 employee you cannot deduct any employee business expenses, including home office expenses, on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax year 2018 thru 2025.

I believe TurboTax is asking for this information for my NY state return.

Ok...for a state return you would use the income reported in box 1 of the W-2 along with the other income you received from other sources outside of your W-2 employment, if any.

Thank you. That's what I assumed, but appreciate your confirmation! 🙂
