Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In the event of an audit the IRS accepts documented deductions only.  If you can't prove a deduction it is removed from your tax return.  There is no accepted estimate method because there are no accepted estimates.

 

Presenting the last 7 years of tax returns to document the calculation used for business usage percentage is probably a pretty good amount of coverage.  You might consider using the percentage generated by whatever you have available to prove it.
