Entering Minute Menu Info

[CraftyMom]

I am using Tax Act. When I enter in my expenses, should I enter in the amount Minute Menu calculated with my T/S% or enter in the full amount and let the software calculate the T/S%.

I am confused here because Minute Menu calculates it for me, but then the software wants to calculate it also.

Whenever you enter a number into tax preparation software, it will assume it's 100% business expense. This software will only apply the time-space % to the house expenses from Form 8829.
