I recommend verifying your procedure for input by clicking this link: Where do I enter the home office deduction? 

 

Click the link for the IRS explanation for Simplified Option for Home Office Deduction.

The deduction may be limited due to the self-employment income income being reported.

 

For more details on reporting your self-employment income, see

How do I report income from self-employment?

 I highly recommend QuickBooks Self-Employed to keep track of your income and expenses throughout the year. It is free for TurboTax Self-Employed customers for one year.
