Business-use-of-home for a partnership in the SAME home

My wife and I are partners in the business (50/50) and I'm doing both returns. We work out of one house with the same business-use-of-home data for both of us. It appears TurboTax doesn't realize I'm entering the same data for both of us. So were each are showing the full business-use-of-home deduction when in fact we should each show only 50% of it. How do I fix this? What is the proper way to enter this information?

If you decrease the area of home used for business by half (i.e. you are each claiming only half your office area), then the calculation would work out as you intend.
