Home office calculations

Can I gain access to the home office calculations that Turbo Tax makes after filing? I received a letter from the State that needs more information on my itemized home office expenses. I would like to start with the information I entered in when filing but I can't find where to access it.

The best way to see the breakdown of your home office expenses is to print your returns. Here's how:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools in the left menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner).
  3. With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
  • Select Print Center and then Print, Save, or Preview This Year's Return to preview your entire return, including all forms and worksheets (you may be asked to register or pay first).

Form 8829 is the federal form used for home office expenses, and it is the starting point for adjustments made by your state, if any. Please click here to review to review the form instructions so you can see how the calculations were applied in your specific situation.
