This tax workbook is designed to help new family child care providers prepare for the upcoming tax season. It provides important tax information for providers, including the Care Provider Identification Test, which requires identifying all persons or organizations that provide care for their child or dependent. Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form used to report child and dependent care expenses on a tax return to claim a tax credit.
For families without a W-2, the 2023 Guide to Form 2441 and Childcare Tax Credits can help maximize deductions and complete the form. The child and dependent care tax credit is a tax break for working people with qualifying dependents, helping offset the costs of caregiving expenses. Form 2441 requires reporting the name, address, and TIN of the care provider on your return.
Tax-Free Childcare is a UK-wide offer that allows eligible working parents with children 11 or under to receive up to £2,000 per child, per year, towards their childcare. If your income minus self-employment expenses is more than $400, you must file Schedule SE to determine your taxes for childcare. Essential information includes provider name and EIN, parent name and SSN, child information, service period, total amount paid, and a child’s age.
Eligible childcare providers must provide an annual tax receipt totaling the amount spent on childcare over the past year. If you pay child and dependent care expenses so you can work, you may be eligible for a federal income tax credit. To file taxes, gather documents and information, choose a filing status, calculate your taxable income, fill out necessary tax forms, review and file your tax returns, and consider childcare benefits for new family child care providers.

Welcome back to Clubbhousekids! Today I will be talking about how I record and deduct supply expenses in my home daycare.
very helpful info thank you – I have that same receipt book . Been using for 4 yrs now. Even though parents pay direct deposit. now i still use the book for other payments – if a parent so happens to pay cash . So what I do is use a record keeping book for all payments. Also, the use a form to write weekly payments for each parent and at the end of the year. each parent signs it & they could use the same form
Great article! I have tried a few different systems over the years to see what works best for me…always nice to see other people’s systems! Here’s a question unrelated to the article: you’ve mentioned before that you only have kids ages 0-24 months…what do you do if the family has another child? Do they sent their children to different places once the older sibling ages out, or do you lose one child because they want the kids in the same place? I only have kids ages 0-5, and even that has been arc to stick to when there are siblings involved!!
