    Great question, joylindsey!

    Is this a home office for a Schedule C business? Keep in mind, that W-2 employees cannot deduct business expenses.

    If so, within FreeTaxUSA, select 'Income' > 'Business Income (Schedule C)'. Select 'Yes' to enter a new business or 'Edit' for an already existing business. Then either continue until you reach a page in which you can indicate you have home office expenses, or select 'Edit' for 'Home Office Expenses'.

    When entering the home office, you'll be given the option to use the simplified method.
