[TurboTaxDeanna]

If you are using TurboTax Online, here’s what to do:

1. When Creating your TurboTax Online account, the easystep will prompt you to select the right product for you.
2. Select the TurboTax Online product you want to use and proceed to enter personal information.
3. Proceed to the next screen, till prompted to enter the expense information.

• Answer yes to the question “Are there other deductions such as public transit, union or professional dues or alimony that you want to claim?”.

Once you have completed the Income and Deductions section the software will offer you the opportunity to Upgrade to TurboTax Self Employed edition to have a step by step guidance. Once upgraded, complete your profile with step by step instructions.

Tip: Once you upgrade you will not be able to downgrade.

Should you choose not to upgrade, proceed to select all of the checkboxes that apply to your Self-employed income and expenses.

Continue on till you reach the T2125-Business Statement and scroll down to the section Calculation of business-use-of-home expenses and proceed to enter your expenses.

If you have already completed your return, you can quickly add the information by clicking directly on the tab in the sidebar and select Self-employed income to edit the T2125.

I hope this was helpful.
