A deck is not included in the square footage of a house. Only fully enclosed spaces with roof and walls are included. Spaces not designed for occupation such as garages, basements, screen porches, etc., are also not included but are often listed separately (i.e. 2,300 square foot home with 24x25 garage and 18x22 covered deck).
If the deck is a fully enclosed all-season room, added with building permits, local standards might allow it to be included in the home square footage. A real estate professional can help with the fine points.

Is wasted space classified as part of the square footage of the house?
The square footage of a home is determined by adding the square foot measurements of all the rooms including closets, if by wasted space you mean inside the walls then no, and not the garage either unless it has been converted into living space. Tax Assessors look at the following when estimating a home's square footage: Above grade (meaning anything that is above the ground), heated space that is livable. The measurements are taken from the outside of the house. Any second floor rooms that have pitched ceilings will be measured as 3/4 or 1/2 of the square footage. Any attic space is not considered livable, so are not included in the main square footage calculations. Rooms that are not heated (such as a summer porch) but have utility are taxed at a lower rate. The second you heat the room it becomes part of the main house. Finished, heated basements are also calculated as living areas, but discounted and not part of the main houses square footage because it's below grade.

Is the square footage of your house part of your lot?
Yes and no. If the home is a one story, then obviously whatever the square footage of it is, is what square footage of land is underneath it. Now, if you have a two story home you wouldn't be able to use the square footage. You may ask why is that. Because now your square footage is equal to up and down stairs. In turn this will double the square footage. I wanted to add to this question that most lots are meassured by length and width. So lets say your length is 130 FT and your width is 60 FT, You multiply the two numbers and come up with the square footage of your lot, 7800square feet.
