I have been claiming home office and using the percentage of actual expense method (instead of simplified method of $1,500) every year. My business profit on Schedule C is way more than my home office expense. However, there is no where for me to enter my actual expense this year. Is there a bug in Turbotax?
It let me take $1,500 home office deduction using the simplified method. However, I want to use the actual expense method same as all the years before. So I chose the actual expense method in the screenshot above. It takes me to the next screenshot:
After I chose "quick entry" in the screenshot above , it immediately takes me to the screenshot below.
Why don't I see a screen where it let me enter my expenses?

Further, considering the nature of your other post (depreciation on a business vehicle), you might want to consider using TurboTax Home & Business (which is a CD/Download installed product) in the future. That product has Forms Mode and, in my opinion, is more robust than its online equivalent (for example, I have no problem with Home Office entry and the screens are different than those depicted in your screenshots).
There are a couple error FAQ for home office. Maybe one will help, see
