I thought she was bit out to lunch.

Like I said, I haven't sat down with her to talk about it, but I'll try to find someone else if she's not open to using different percentages. My only thought was that perhaps she had a ball park number that she thought would be good to claim and was going to "work" the percentages to get close to that number. I'm not sure I'm super comfortable with her doing that though.

For those of you who claim 50% of your home... have you even been audited? I did mine based on 85% of the home (I might increase this to 100%, since it's really only 1 bathroom that we don't use, and our family room that we occasionally do use for dc), 4.5 days a week (I started at 4 days a week, and bumped up to 5 halfway through the year) for 10 hours a day, 49 weeks/year and got around 22%. I'm paranoid to claim too much and be audited, but at the same time, that doesn't work out to a very big claim.
