Home Office

I agree that normally Sch E filers do not have a home office or the deduction.  That's why the data won't flow.  It also won't flow for Sch F filers or unreimbursed partners.  However, in Pub 587, the instructions address using a worksheet (instead of Form 8829) for farmers and unreimbursed partners.  If the rentals are a trade or business, I think you'd have an argument for using the worksheet and taking the deduction.  (I'd just use 8829 and enter the results on Sch E manually, we've established that it won't flow. keep the 8829 in the file. give taxpayer a copy).  There was a landlord who successfully defended the deduction in tax court.  It wasn't me, and I've never entered that deduction for a landlord.
