form 8829 is for expenses for business use of your home. What expense is too small?

Mortgage interest entered in deductions was  pre-populated into Schedule C as a negative number and was not editable in forms but resulted in a "too low" error.  A phone call to customer service and walk through was successful in eliminating the error.  Thank you for responding to my post!
