I need help.

Client may use standard deduction and when I entered amount for boxes 16, 17 the pro rata portion of mortgage interest and real state tax based on the date business started (X or Y* 111/365) as handy calculation since ProSeries does not take pro rata portion just take the percentage area, still I see the whole amount of 1098 for Mortgage int and real state tax on Sch A and the share of home office are not there.

However, standard deduction is more than itemize for my client but I do not know why the share of home office does not show up in Sch A however not supposed to take it.

Employees can not claim the home office deduction - Only business - do they file a schedule C? If so it goes there.

"Client has sch C. How pro rata portion of mortgage and real state goes on Sch A?"

Just to confirm: The client's Sched C has the business use of the home (not simplified method), the taxpayer is marked for taking standard deduction, and you still want to see the remaining itemized deductions on the Sched A that won't be used?

If you entering the mortgage info on the 1098 worksheet and expecting/assuming/hoping that it will transfer to the 8829 and make the appropriate calculations and Sch A interest allocations............. don't ge your hopes up. You have to enter the information manually on the 8829 worksheet and not include it on the 1098 worksheet.

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

I did manually on 8829 but no changes happened on Sch A for the pro rata of mortgage and real state tax?

I can not see the share of home office regarding mortgage and real state tax on sch A, you mean I have to delete 1098 and put amount directly on sch A?

Thanks

I would also see if just using the simplified method for the home office deduction works and put the interest and real estate taxes on schedule A. Form 8829 depreciates part of the house and now you have to remember to recapture when they sell their personal residence (If I remember this correctly)

Thanks but my question is not about depreciation and unrecaptured 1250 or about 8829. My question is about Proseries and how it works for 8829. I really need help.

Thanks a lot.
