How do i split the expenses claimed on home office with my daughter who lives upstairs as co-owner?

we are both self employed and claim home offices. on our T2125 do I include the full amounts for Insurance,mortgage interest,maintenance,etc for each of us? or do I divide the amounts in half and use that? obviously heat and electricity will be different amounts but we split the other costs 50/50

Then you each fill in your own T2125, while splitting the amounts respectively between the two of you.

Do you both share the same office or are separate within the home?

No,it's a duplex with separate addresses.we each have our own offices in our own house but generally split the building expenses.so in totals for house expenses do I use half and half or the total spent on our taxes?
