Sorry Ladies, I know there are a gazillion tax questions out there. I had a home daycare for a few months last year. I am adding up all my receipts for food and inputting them into an excel spreadsheet. I have each child multiplied by the number of days in attendance multiplied by the number of meals served. Then I have my family meals served for the year. Then I take both numbers and divided the monthly grocery bill by those numbers. It ends up working out to almost $7 per meal (2 snacks and 1 lunch) which works out to $21 per day for food alone each kid! No wonder I was making no money! I'm worried that this is just too much to claim. I don't want to end up being audited! What do you all claim per child per day?
Thanks!
