You can only track mileage but not time spent out of DC even if it's DC related. The only time that you can track is time spent in your home doing DC related things
.
That being said I do 60 hours a week with children in care and another 8-10 hours doing DC business with no kids in my home. If you added all of the time that I spend grocery shopping, training etc then that would be anothr 1-2 hours a week. I prefer (but don't always) to do most of the paperwork, prep, organizing, cleaning etc. during non DC hours (an hour or 2 after DC closes and on weekends sometimes) and have a higher space % so that I can deduct a higher % of my shared purchases.
** oops I meant to have a higher time %
