The home office worksheet, can I do away with that? Time is running out and it wont let me file. It does not tell me how to fix the problem.

Yes - if you are an employee.  For tax years 2018-2025, employee business deductions (including home office) have been removed.

A home office is still deductible for a business return (Schedule C).


If you want to delete the Home Office worksheet, please follow these instructions:

  4. Once you have finished deleting the desired form(s) click the Continue with My Return box (in the lower right of your screen).

I don't understand how it works, so I need to take it away to file.

I don't have a home business, I made a mistake in saying so.

I've added instructions in my original answer on how to delete the Home Office Worksheet.
