Home daycare providers tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Home Daycare Providers Write Off?

Short answer: The biggest write-offs for home daycare providers are the time-space percentage of your home, food (standard meal rates), toys, and supplies.

Report income and expenses on Schedule C. Profit is hit with 15.3% self-employment tax plus income tax, so set aside 25-30% and pay quarterly estimates.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
