    Hi,

    You can enter your information for the home office deduction in the 'Business Income' section of the 'Income' tab. When you get to the 'Your Business' page, select the 'Home Office Expenses' option. You will have the option to select the simplified method as you go through that section.

    Are you a W-2 employee or self-employed? The home office deduction is only available to self-employed individuals.

    you must use the space exclusively for your business. It can't be a "spare bedroom" that is utilized occasionally. It must be exclusive use. It's a very popular topic for review.
