Home office

I just downloaded TurboTax Home and Business 2024. I am unable to find the place where you can enter expenses as deductible either for the home office only, (e.g. office supplies); or for services for the entire home for which TT allocates the percentage of the service based on the percentage of your home office area to the whole house (say 8%).

I haven't had any problem with this since 2001, when I started the home office and have been using TurboTax ever since.

Does anyone have an idea as to how to get to this part of TT?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a business listed?

Go to the Business tab (top)

Continue

I'll choose what to work on

"Business Income and Expenses" START or UPDATE

Select "Edit" for the business on the list

Scroll down to "Home Office Expense" under Business Expenses

Many thanks for your prompt reply KrisD.

There are other services and repairs done for the whole home, can I list the percentage area on that screen (e.g. electrical work, plumbing, pest control., etc.)

If you are entering an expense that pertains to the whole home, be sure to enter the total amount. TurboTax will calculate the percentage of the expense that will be applied to the home office portion of the home.

There should also be a message on the screen reminding you not to prorate the whole home expenses before entering them.
