How do you save money as a DCP?

[Crayola kiddies]

I don't you profit from a tax write off though. I think it is similar to the 'saving childcare fees' If you can't fill a space with a paying child because your child is there you are not saving childcare fees. I would think most, if not all, tax write offs are only there on items you pay more for by working at home so saving on them is not putting you ahead. You can claim food costs...but you wouldn't be feeding those kids if you worked outside the home.

Well fortunately for me My own kids don't count in my numbers and I can write off a portion of my property taxes, mortgage interest , utilities, maintenance fees around this house , cell phone bills , and about 6k in food and I don't even have to leave my home .... I don't have to pay gas or extra wear and tear on my car , work place clothes, the odd lunch out .... Daycare fees/ camp fees for the summer/ Christmas/ March break because while my three kids don't count in my numbers they are not old enough to stay at home alone .... The list goes on .... I feel the pros of working from home far outweigh the cons plus my boss rocks!
