Any reason why computed simplified home office deduction would be less for 2018 for the same square footage?

Review lines 29 & 30 for both Sch Cs ... line 30 cannot be more than line 29 ... so did you have less profit this year ? https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sc.pdf

Were your total expenses for the home were less?

Don't understand the question. Just using simplified.

Should be square footage x 5 .

Is it giving you simplified or is it giving you actual? How much less? Did you enter a different home office size?

Simplified. All other info exactly the same as 2017. Almost half as much.
