TurboTax Premier 2024 Windows Home Office bug

On Form 8829, Simplified Smart Worksheet Line A "Gross income limitation" appears to be preloaded from Schedule C Line 28 (which is negative, i.e. an expense), but I believe it should be preloaded from Schedule C Line 29 (a positive value when a profit exists, as it is for my situation).  Due to this error, the software incorrectly states I am not eligible for the Home Office deduction, as the business does not have a profit.

    Definitely appears to be a software bug, but I found a circumvention...  I entered 100% on Form 8829 Part II Line 8 B Worksheet Calculation, and this resulted in correcting the problem.
