I have entered my home office expenses, can see them on the page but the summary says "Not Started". Why? What do I need to do?

Thank you!  I'll try that!

This problem does not seem to be fixed as I am having it right now.

Please send a picture/screenshot of where it shows "Not Started".

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I am also currently having this same issue. 

Home office

Total claimable for 2024.   Not Started

Amount to carry forward.  $xx.xx

When I click to edit I can see all of my amounts entered.

@nataliejaclyn Are you using a online Version of TurboTax or a Desktop Version?

[nataliejaclyn]

I am using an Online version.

When you are on the summary of Self-Employment expenses, do you see the amounts of what you entered (see screenshot)?

If it's look like the screenshot above (with your amounts), make sure your Self-Employment income is on line 13500 in the detailed summary. If everything is in place, and properly calculate, you don't have nothing to worry about.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

My self employment income is showing on like 13500. However my screenshot looks different. I'll attach it here. The not started is for the Total claimable, even though I have filled in all my home office expenses for the year, which allowed it to calculate the carry forward amount (as my fiscal year ends Nov. 31)

@nataliejaclyn Is your business income on line 13500 showing as a loss? If so, then that's why your home offices expenses are being carried forward. You can't make or increase a loss with home office expenses. TurboTax Online just shows "Not Started" instead of $0.00.
