I want to claim my home office expenses for working from home. Do I fill out BOTH sections of Turbotax (ENTIRE home expenses PLUS the office space only?)

Hello i need further clarification.

Your work space is a (selection) i selected designated work space (room)

total area or rooms in the home i put in 5 (do i include kitchen, washroom, living) or just bedroom)

area or number of rooms of work space I put in 1 

for expenses which you incurred for the entire home:

i put rent  under other, specificy: under zero rated & exempt do i put the rent of entire home i paid (12 months) so if i paid $2519 monthly rent 2519x12 = $30,228 or do i put only $2519 under the zero rated & exempt

please clarify this asap someone.

@ALI ali  If you worked there the whole year you would put the total for all 12 months.

What amount do I put on items i filled out on "Expenses which you incurred for office space only (not for entire home)"? For example, I bought a computer table for $100 BEFORE tax and $118 AFTER tax. What value do i put on the column  GST Taxable and HST Taxable?

@Semedx Are you employed or self-employed? As a self-employed person, you can claim those expenses, and if you are not registered for GST/HST, the full amount is usually entered as the expense. 

If you want to claim home office expenses from working from home, then you cannot claim any furniture.
