When you enter your business into TurboTax it will have a section for the home office deduction. If you click start on that it will ask you if you ran a home daycare center. If you say yes it will ask you questions that are only relevant for a day care center. Most home offices have to be used exclusively for business but the home day care center can be used part of the time for business. Which is what you do.
You will have to enter the number of hours that you worked (11.5 hours a day x 5 days a week x 52 weeks a year is 2990) out of how many hours it was available to be used (8760 is the total number of hours in 2022) and then you will have to enter the actual expenses that you had for the house (not just the rent but the utilities as well as any other expenses) and it will give you the deduction you're entitled to against your income.
