New York State Home Office Expenses - Turbo Tax not providing Form 8829?

[ORFisherman]

Hello Community!

In NY State it is allowed to deduct home office expenses if you are a W-2 employee (but company has no local offices). However, TurboTax SW fails to offer this process!!! WHAT, REALLY....sadly true?!!??

How can we do NY State Returns with TurboTax???

All help welcomed.

You have to enter your home office expenses in the federal section of TurboTax, even though it cannot be used on your federal tax return. It will flow to the job expenses section of Form IT-196 in your New York tax return. Form 8829 is not used for a W-2 employee.

To enter the expenses go to

• Federal Taxes
• Deductions & Credits
• Employment Expenses
• Job-Related Expenses
