What is the definition of a room for the purposes of calculating total rooms in home?
Does it include kitchen, bathroom, hallways etc.?
Does it include rooms in the basement?
Simple method: Rooms are areas in the house where you can work out of. So bedrooms, living rooms, dining room/kitchen, if you have rooms in the basement include them. So if you have a 4 bedroom house with 2 living rooms and 1 kitchen, you would put 7 rooms and use 1 for your work area.

I read that page but doesn't answer my question which is a bit more nuanced. It deals with fields in turbo tax and what they represent.
