How to expense food on tax form

Thanks. I do have receipts, but I shop all together for family groceries as well (only have 2 dck). So I have to figure out how to calculate that, sigh.

Going forward - get seperate receipts. Or put your day care purchases through first, get the teller to subtotal it and then do the household. That's what I do now there's just my husband and I at home.

That way, we can show that once a month, our household is paying for the toilet paper, or dish soap. Other things we double up on - so we buy 2 boxes of eggs. One will go through as day care and one will go through as household. We can then prove that the shared items aren't all being put through the business but we only need to hold onto one receipt.
