If self-employed yes.  If a W-2 employee no.  But watch the home office worksheet for the Sch C as where to input mortgage interest and real estate taxes are different.  Time for some learning on your end.

 I guess I should’ve been more specific .

From what I understand you deduct it on the “excess mortgage interest” line because the interest was not deducted in Schedule A then the program calculates the % based on the sq footage.
