Daycare and Taxes>How Do You Figure The Hours After Work That You Work

I always pretty much just claim on hour in the evenings as my cleaning time but I know its more then that. I'm not sure though what they would consider family cleaning and childcare cleaning.

Here's an example-cleaning my kitchen. I may clean my kitchen while I'm making dinner and then reclean after dinner because I have to have it to daycare standards for the next day. Would that all be considered for childcare or would they want a breakdown for family?

What if your kids help you do the cleaning? Would you count their hours under you or just what portion you actually clean.

I could easily do 3+ hours a night but not sure if the IRS would believe that, then all the cleaning that is done on the weekends.
