I'm I looking at this incorrectly? Does the room need to be for more than just storage for it to count?
EDIT: 0% of my house is used exclusively, I'm not talking about it being anything being an exclusive room, but 100% of my house is used in some way for day care. Is there anyone else who uses all of their square footage when figuring their time space%?
You are entitled to claim 100% of your space as regularly used for your business. Using a room as storage can qualify that room for regular use. It's fairly common for providers to claim 100% of their space as business.
