T2200 question input

[ali ali]

Hello, i am using turbo tax. I received a t2200 in the place work-space in the home expense it is not clear under calculation of work space in the home expense section, it says your work space is a (select option) i selected designated work space (room). then for the total area or rooms in the home, so am i putting in number of rooms i have in my house for example i have kitchen, washroom, living and two rooms, i will put 5? And then for area or number of rooms of the work space i put in one, because my one room is a office is that correct?

then i am confused about second part where it says expenses which you incurred for the entire home, so since i am paying rent for my house $2519 monthly which includes heat water electricty, do i put under other : rent, and put 2519x12 = $30,228 full rent under zero rated & exempt? Or am i putting in the percentage i am using my one room? For example 1 / 5 = 0.20%? Please clarify

Yes, you would include all the rooms in your home in the total, and then just one for your workspace.

If you worked there the whole year you would put the total for all 12 months. TurboTax will adjust the claim based on the number of rooms you entered.
