Where do I enter rent paid?

You will go to the top right and click on "Find" type in Work from Home and Go- then complete the information required- continue until you get to the page which asks - How would you like to file your employment expenses? You would choose- Detailed method. Scroll down to "Employment related expenses"  look down and you will see Other expenses (rent, etc.)-Line 10 on T777S- This is where you will enter the rent paid.

Where do I enter rent paid?

Question about this. Do I enter the full amount that I paid for rent? Does turbo tax calculate the percentage based on what I entered into Calculation of Work-Space-in-the-Home Expenses? Or do I need to calculate that percentage. Same goes for internet and other things entered, who calculates the percentage for bussiness, turbotax or myself?

Where do I enter rent paid?

You would enter the full amount and TurboTax will calculate the percentage based on the square footage of the home or how many rooms you entered.
