Yes .... basically you have a home based business that results in income and has expenses you file as 'self employed' and fill out the paperwork for 'self employed' .... regardless of being contracted with a licensed agency or just private home childcare provider, regardless of being full or only having 1 child in your program, you are still required to claim all your income, provide receipts to your client and you can write off any reasonable expense within the guidelines for our industry.
