I entered expenses for business use of home, but there is no deduction in the summary.

I entered expenses for business use of home, but there is no deduction in the summary.

Here are the two most common reasons your Business Use of Home (BUH) expenses do not appear as a deduction.

  • If your business was already in a loss situation (your expenses exceeded your income), any BUH expenses you entered cannot be used. These expenses cannot be used to create or increase a loss.
  • You have not entered in the area of the home used, or entered incorrectly.

I have entered all of the business-use-of-home expenses correctly in the section and I have a net income (not a loss).  Why isn't Turbo Tax claiming it?
