Accounting Question - Can you claim new appliances as expenses?

[apples and bananas]

wow! $2500? I started about a year ago so my taxes for 2011 included half a year daycare and half a year of me working outside the home. I got a huge refund! I always suggest getting someone to do your taxes for you that know all of the loop holes. I found my accountant through a friend that owns his own business and uses her. There are a lot of these people that are trained and do it out of their homes.

I'm sorry I can't be any help with the capital cost information. But I did find that the more organized my records were the less work my accountant had to do and the less she charged me.

Thanks for your reply.

The reason I am trying it on my own is because I had someone file my taxes last year who made two big mistakes. She was a referral from another home daycare provider. Some of my other friends who have home daycare's go though Accountants but pay a couple hundred dollars for their returns. I'm trying to cut the costs down but maybe I'm going to have to go that route otherwise I'll be paying big time.
