I am stuck in the Review process. It says I have an error on my form but it is correct, yet TurboTax won't let me eFile with this "error." How can I clear it and proceed?

In the home office form 8829 Line C asks for "The lesser of the square footage of your office or 300". My office is 300, so I have entered 300. Yet it's being flagged as being greater than the maximum allowed. I believe this is a bug, but I can't file until it's "corrected." What can I do?

This will happen if you are trying to include two home offices on the same Schedule C business. Both cannot be entered using the simplified method. One of the home offices must use the actual expense method.

This is the case even if the reason for two home offices is that you moved during the year.
