Question

I use the business form last year, because I claim home office, as I work from home some. Now turbo tax wants me to use self employed? I only work from home about 15%.

No, you don't need to use Self-Employed if you do not have self-employment income.

If you are an employee, you can report your home office expenses on Schedule A via form 2106.

To enter these expenses in TurboTax Deluxe or Premier:

Open your tax return.
Select the Federal Taxes tab, then Deductions & Credits.
Scroll down to Employment Expenses, and select Job expenses for W-2 income.
Under Employment Expenses Related to a W-2, check Yes and continue with the interview.
