As long as property tax is not limited by SALT and mortgage interest is not limited on Schedule A, the program is correct.

The portion of property taxes and mortgage interest for the home office can be deducted even with a loss, unless, as Taxiowa said about SALT, but not other expenses

I am looking for guidance in this area. So if a Schedule C has a loss, they can still potentially take the deduction on Business Use of Home (Form 8829).

If in Schedule A, State Income Tax is $8K, Property Tax is 4K with total of $12K and SALT limit is $10K.   Then property tax cannot be taken in Form 8829?  But if State Income Tax is $5K and Property Tax is $4K, total $9K, SALT limited no reached, then a portion of property tax can be deducted in Form 8829?

For Mortgage Interest, if a couple MFJ has over $750K new mortgage loan taken out after 12/15/17, they will not be able to take Mortgage Interest in Form 8829?

What needs to be fixed is your shift key....

Interest & taxes ARE allowed, even if it translates into an overall loss on the Schedule C.  The rest of the expenses are suspended/carried over.
