I was writing out my tax receipts to parents and stopped everything since 5 pm... I am getting quite a headache at this point ---- its 10 pm now

I know there are a few discussions about tax receipts but, I have been reading and reading, even on RevCan website and I cant get my answers. I still need help please.

Do you put both parents names on receipts or you choose just one... like the mother perhaps ??

I open my daycare Jan 30th 2012... is it better to say from Jan 30th 2012 to Dec 31 2012 ??? Since I had unemployent in January last year, I wouldnt want to get in trouble and write Jan 1st 2012... Or should I just say : for tax year 2012 ?? I know that Revenue Canada tax receipt example says to mention : ''from ______ to ______'' so is it a MUST to write exact dates of services.

Now that SIN number yes and no thing really makes me nervous so, I went on the government website to apply for BIN number : first it gives me a link for BN and not BIN... do some of you have the right link for BIN or is it the same ? --- If I get the BIN number is it under my daycare name or personnal name ? and does it matter if all the cheques has been done to my personal name last year since I didnt have a BIN number and after I get the BIN number do parents pay me under my daycare name or can continue making cheques under my personnal name since I dont have a business bank account ? ARGHHH its sooooo complicated

Is it true what I have read on one thread : if you dont put your SIN number on receipts you can get a fine for each receipts without the SIN number ??? I thought that putting ''SIN number will be given upon request only'' was ok ...

Well thank you for any help, I will very much appreciate it !
