Home Based Office

I am a W-2 employee, but my office is out of my home.  Turbo Tax is not asking me to enter my expenses (gas, electric, internet, etc.) even though I used that deduction last year.  Turbo Tax is automatically saying the Standard deduction is my best option versus itemizing, but does not allow me to enter home office expenses.  How do I enter home office expenses to see if I save by itemizing?

    If you are a W-2 employee and use an office in your home, the expenses for that office are not deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 208 thru 2025.
