If you have a net loss for your business, you won't be able to claim the home office deduction. If that's not the case, you may need to revisit the Home Office deduction to verify your entries.
You can also Preview your Form 1040 to see if it's showing a loss for the business on line 12. I'll post the instructions below.
How to get to the area to enter your
business expenses
:
While inside the software and working on your return,
type Schedule C in the Search at the top of the screen (you
may see a magnifying glass there). There will be a popup that says Jump
to Schedule C. Select that to get to the general area.
Then:
- select Edit next
to your business (if it is there)
- scroll to Business
Expenses
- then Select Home Office
Follow through all the areas in the Business section of the
TurboTax software and it will provide you with a lot of assistance. You'll
notice blue links that have more
information and details about the particular sections that will be extremely
helpful.
Also, this link may be helpful to you IRS Small
Business Help Center .
