HUGE Home Office Deduction

Is anyone getting an extremely large home office deduction when entering their expenses?  I'm entering my Whole House expenses (Utilities, Mort Interest, Other Expenses, etc.) then entering just my Home Office expenses.  They are modest and in line with my 2019 entries,  My deductions are then calculating in 7 figures!  As much as I'd like to claim that, I don't think its correct.  I've tried to override the entries manually, but they still come out in the millions!  HELP!!!

 

I am using TurboTax Deluxe for Mac.

    Are you self-employed?  W-2 employees cannot claim home office deductions.

    Sounds like you might be typing in commas where there should be decimal points.

    Yes you can.  I've been a home based employee for 10 years now.  I got it figured out.  Thanks for your response
