Since Jessica does not use the family room exclusively in her profession, she can not claim a business deduction for its use....
What she needs to do is set aside a small area of her home with a desk, computer and so on and so forth and designate that are as her 'home office area'... so she can deduct a percentage of her utilities, rent, heating, all kinds of home office deductions that she currently can not take advantage of...

Why the Big Home Office Deductions and Tax Breaks??
The average American who runs even a part-time home-based business can now qualify for more home business tax benefits than any other category of taxpayer," according to Ronald R. Mueller, author of the bestseller "It's How Much You KEEP, That Counts! Not how much you Make".
Because 70% of the job growth is coming from small businesses, and Congress is "betting" that some of us will hit on a winner, strike it rich, and, then, pay a LOT in taxes.
Of course we won't mind so much if we have to pay a lot in taxes if we're making a boatload of profits, right?
Congress has passed laws giving THOUSANDS of DOLLARS in Tax REFUNDS and Home Business DEDUCTIONS to average Americans who operate a legitimate home-based business - even a part time business - as long as they can prove they're trying to make a profit.
"Record Keeping is VITAL in order to take full advantage of all the home office tax deductions."
Make sure you keep accurate records that provide the information needed to figure your home office deductions for the business use of your home.
Keep all cancelled checks, receipts, invoices, and other evidence of expenses for the deductions you claim...
