Thanks

If the office is inside the same building, I just add the accumulated depreciation to the Home Sale Worksheet.

You first go to the Asset Entry Worksheet for the home and enter a disposition date (leave the sale price blank), then manually look at the the current year depreciation and the prior depreciation. Then add that total depreciation to the Home Sale Worksheet.

You MIGHT be able to "link" the Asset Entry Worksheet to the Home Sale Worksheet (in the disposition section), but I suspect that is going to mess things up unless you do some manual calculations.

If the office is in a separate structure from the main home (such as a building in the back yard or in a detached garage), then it is treated differently.
