My client took the standard deduction last year and still got a portion of the home office deduction for some of his RE taxes paid (he is self employed), but if I check this box, it limits it to zero (he has a loss and had a loss last year).

Yes. 

You need to look at the bottom line tax for with the box checked and without. It basically is a diagnostic warning that does not impact your ability to e-file (unlike the next warning in my image.) Basically a software trying to save our patooties, by making us aware of options and possibilities.


Here's wishing you many Happy Returns
