What all are you able to claim as business expenses when doing taxes? I feed the children in my care for meals and snacks and drinks, as most do. I should have been doing it from the start but have only recently started doing separate transactions for my child care items and personal items. On the receipts that aren't separated, can I still claim the items that were purchased for child care purposes? Or scrap those receipts and just keep the newer ones specific to child care expenses? I've only been doing this for 2 months and looking for any help, advice and tips I can get.
