What area are you in Julie?? I have a terrific accountant who specializes in home daycare tax returns and they charge a really reasonable rate. Saves time and also has all the facts without the need to read all the jargon which is both time consuming and quite often is made out to be way more complicated than necessairy IMO. For example if you spend a certain amount on food for your daycare children, it doesn't automatically mean you can write it all off. The maximum guideline per child per day for 2 snacks and 1 meal is $10. This doesnt mean you can't claim for more but make sure its completely legitimate as you are at a much higher risk of being auditted. The same with km, gas, general maintenance of your car. There is a maximum amount per km that you can claim for this. Let me know where you are and if its feaseable I will forward the accountants info on to you.
