Home office expenses Tp59 T777

[IanQC]

The program does not take into account the % specified in the interview.  So lines 14 and 16 of Tp59 are not calculated properly.  Same problem seems to exist for t777.

Hello IanQC,

Be sure to enter the %Home use to calculate the %Work use : 90% - - -> 10%

Thanks.  I didn't read the line properly, I thought it was work use instead of personal use.

HI for office rent, do we enter the total amount of rent we paid for the apartment rent?

Hello Rami,

 

Employment Expense :
Indicate the percentage (%) Of your home that is used for personal, non-business relate purposes. 

= 100 -c 
To calculate the percentage of work-space-in-the-home expenses you can deduct, use a reasonable basis, such as the 
area of the work space divided by the total finished area (including hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.). 

If you are working in a designated room 
Since the room is used only for work, the percentage Of your home used as a work space is also the percentage Of your 
work space used for employment purposes. 
A = Size of work space (designated room or shared area) 
B = Total finished area of home 
C = Percentage of your home that you used as a work space (rounded two decimal places) 
C AE x 100 

If you are working in a common (shared) area 
You need to calculate the percentage of the work space that was used for employment purposes by providing the 
numbers of hours worked in that space within a calendar week (7 days or 168 hours). 
D = Number of hours (hours worked in a work week) 
E = 168 hours 
F=D/E 
C = Percentage of your home that you used as a work space (rounded two decimal places) 
C = A/B x F x 100
