Tom, we bought a used Van for $8000.00, can I claim this on my daycare taxes? We will only have this one vehicle and I do transport the children daily.
We bought it in December.
You can deduct expenses for this vehicle. You can use either the standard mileage rate or the actual expenses method. Since you are using it regularly to transport children make sure your car insurance covers you when you do.
Question!
I bought a van as well to accomodate all the daycare kids. BUT if the use of the van is not for the daycare kids but they come with us when we go shopping, drive other kids to and from school, does it still count? Or are they just tag alongs?
