You can only claim business use of home expenses to the extent that your net business income is greater than zero.  In this case, since you have a net loss, the amount of this year's business use of home expenses will be carried forward to next year.

How to carry forward ? Does it come automatically next year or we have to manually select any option. It’s not showing up in the transferred to next year summary.
