Question

My wife is running a dog-daycare from home. We mainly use our living, family-rooms and back yard for the business. What can I claim in our tax returns?

Level 2

There seems to be opposing information out there about how to claim the area of the house that is used for boarding/doggy day care but not exclusive. I have read that you can claim living areas used under the day care services deduction but I don't know if this is true. The way the tax books read it seems like day care use only counts for humans. Can you provide any clarification?
