Same here! I tell the parents that if their accountant needs it, just let me know! So far it hasn't been an issue...knock on wood!! Lol

I don't give mine out. I have had 2 families ask over the years. They were being audited due to a change in how they were claiming their taxes. I had no issue giving it to them.

I never give out my sin number but I have a business name.

I always put all the info on my receipts. We are a military family and move every 3 years. If somebody got audited after 6 or 7 years, I don't know if they would have correct contact information for me. I give one annual receipt, provide all the info and have never had an issue in 10 years.

I have a business name as well. It doesn't matter though- if they get audited they will need your sin number.

So if I get audited I would have to show them that the kids only should have 300 dollars each,.does that make sense. And the older boy is disabled. I read that if you are collecting disability you can't claim daycare because you get money already. This mom every year tries to screw me over. Last year she said that my total was wrong, this year again,Shen then wants yo play the disability card. I have it all written down.

They can claim for disabled child in fact they get higher amount than normal because sometimes specialist care costs more. From this year allowed up to $10k for disabled child (preschool or younger) or $8k for any other preschooler. Different amount for school age.

But, you don't need to worry about what they can claim or how they do it. You just need own house in order.

It is one receipt per child. Says clearly on website. Think this might be recent change due to income splitting.

This Mom has no way to screw you over if you just follow CRA guides. WRite out one receipt per child based on what she paid. Up to her how she messes around with her taxes but you have to take care of yours, not her requirement.
