Really don't know where to begin in keeping track of things for taxes....is there a good previous post or article about the basics? I've had my license for a month and have been keeping receipts for obvious daycare items, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, toys.
What other receipts should I keep? should I keep all my house bills as well to claim the time/space percentage? And what is the time/space percentage EVEN ?
I also got a mileage book, but I don't really know how to use it?! Any miles daycare related right? Does that include loading up the daycare kids to take MY son to swimming or preschool?
Also just bought a 2011 mini-van brand new....can we deduct that?
What "reasonable proof" do I need to claim these things? I guess I'm looking to see what systems other people have.
Also I keep track of the hours I have children, but what about all the other time I spend working on daycare stuff? How are those hours "deducted" or paid for I guess...
Thanks for any help!!
