ABOUT THIS SESSION

Tax season doesn’t have to be a headache. Whether you’ve been running your dayhome for years or are filing for the first time, understanding what you can claim, how to organize your records, and how to prepare for filing makes a world of difference.

In this annual session, we’ll walk through the essential steps for staying tax-ready all year long—from setting up effective tracking systems to understanding allowable deductions and common audit flags. You’ll gain clarity on what qualifies as a business expense, how to handle mixed-use items, and what documents you should keep (and for how long).

This workshop is designed specifically for dayhome providers and includes examples and tips tailored to the unique nature of home-based care. You’ll leave feeling confident, organized, and ready to take on tax time with ease.

This workshop requires a minimum of 15 participants to run. If we don't reach that number, all registrants will receive a full refund.
