I rent a room in a family home, I live in that room and I also operate my Internet business from there, home and business address are the same. Is my rent deductible?

No, in order for your rent to be deductible the room would have to be used regularly and exclusively for business. Since you are also living in the room, it does not meet the exclusive use.
