Check your data. If it's saying 300 is to large, then you've told the program that your actual square footage is less than 300. Remember it's the "lesser" you have to enter there.

Hum, I still don't get it.  It actually says, "the lesser of the square footage of your office or 300. So, I put in 275 and it still wouldn't take it. I put in 299. It still won't take it. This section needs to be more clear.

2106 is for employee business expenses most of which have been eliminated for 2018.  if your trying to take H-O on your schedule C your supposes to use form 8829,  if your trying to take H-O as an employee on Schedule A forget it - it's gone.
