Daycare Depreciation: Buy the Best Toys and Educational Equipment and Gain Taxable Benefits
By Jan Verhoeff
Do you run an in house daycare? Those children deserve the best. Give it to them and deduct the benefits.
Toys and Educational Equipment used for Daycare are Depreciable as assets, so provide the best equipment and enjoy the benefits of Tax Deductions for your Assets.
Whether your Daycare spends time outside or inside, the playground equipment, computers, games, and equipment purchased provide entertainment and education. Long Term Use items are depreciable for any business, and your business is no different.
Some daycares offer a special room and equipment for naptime, playtime, or learning, and those rooms are outfitted with special equipment that does cost money. Keep your receipts and document your schedules to use this equipment on the Depreciation Schedules.
Some specific equipment that has been deducted for daycare:
Playground equipment - indoor and outdoor.
Computers - for internet planning use, or for child use.
Children’s computers for games and learning.
Educational Toys & Peripheral equipment.
Nap time necessities - blankets, rugs, mats, etc.
Books, shelving, and cozy kid chairs.
Tables and Chairs for children.
Laundry equipment used for daycare.
Daycare safety equipment (car seats, high chairs, playpens)
Plastic serving dishes
Dishwasher
Video & Stereo Equipment - Music & Videos.
Fencing for yards
Storage Shed
Yard Care Equipment
Vacuum Cleaners & Cleaning equipment
IF you run a daycare and purchase anything specifically for use in the daycare, keep your receipts and document use of the equipment.
A daily activities diary helps keep track of activities and deductions. (Another use for that computer in the den?)
If you blog your daycare activities, or manage a forum for daycare providers, you may be creating another stream of income and another source of deductions for your home business.
