Daycare and Taxes>Only Operated For A Portion Of 2013

I operated my daycare business from Jan.-April 22nd in 2013 (taking time off while my 16 year old daughter goes through extensive surgeries).

Remind me how I would enter this into Minute Menu Kids...I have my mortgage interest on my statement (showing one lump sum for the entire year). Do I take that amount and divide it into 52 weeks to see the weekly average and times that by the number of weeks I operated? I completely forgot how to do this when only operating for a portion of the year.

You were in business for 30% of the year (112 days/365 days). So, multiply your property tax, mortgage interest and house insurance by 30% and put that amount on Form 8829 to be multiplied by your time-space %.
