    Unlicensed "Daycare" New York And Deductions

    I am a stay at home mom and will be watching 2 children in my home along with my infant son. I know that in NY you can watch a certain number of children and not have a license. However what I do not know is if i can deduct any expenses at the end of the year, such as heat, electric etc. I live in upstate NY, not NYC if that makes any difference. Hope someone can help.

    Thanks

      In NY your own child counts toward your ratio. You may legally only care for 2 children without being licensed. Taking 2 children besides your own child is illegal. Illegal operators cannot deduct any expenses.

          I think you can legally watch 2 children that are unrelated to you here in NY...so you may be able to claim deductions. I think you should maybe call your local child care council or just call OCFS and ask them...they should have all the info you need....good luck to you!
