How can I use my storage unit on my tax return

Storage unit for what, exactly?   Are you self-employed?   Are you storing supplies, etc.?

If you are not self-employed and using the storage unit for business purposes, you do not enter it on your tax return.  It is simply a personal expense that is not deductible.

How can I use my storage unit on my tax return

As xmasbaby0 stated, if you are not self-employed and using the storage unit for business purposes, it would be considered a personal convenience expense and therefore, not deductible.  However, if you are a partner in a partnership or a principal shareholder/officer/employee in a corporation, you may be able to negotiate a rental agreement with your business/employer for reimbursement for use of your storage unit.  The agreement for use of your shed should be in writing and at a fair rental rate.
