Hi. What do you think about this idea. Total yearly daycare income divided by daily rate/child. Multiply the result by your daily food amount/ child. That seems like an easy way to calculate the deduction? (example: gross income=$3500/$35(/day)= 10000. Multiply that by $8 food allowance/ day = $8000 to deduct for meals. Seems easy to me. Keep all food receipts for the year for proof. What do you think?
That only works if you can prove how you arrived at the $8 day for food.
I did just that. But $7 per day per child. I kept an attendance record, so not every child had the same amount, as they were sometimes on vacay, sick etc.
I figure I cld easily come up with grocery receipts for that amount and then some to accound for my own family. I don't use a structered menu plan, but spend $350 a week on groceries and only serve expensive, whole ingredient foods.
