Don't you wish we could write off what we truly pay in daycare? What makes me frustrated is that we can only write off so much in daycare expenses so the people you pay to watch your children only claim this much in childcare. If I can max out at 6,000 a year for 2 kids but I'm really paying 12,000 is that fair? I have to pay taxes on all the money I make. In addition - if you use a home daycare most people can use tax deduction writeoffs on the mortgage, electricity, water and of course food unless they get assistance from the food program. I find that crazy! If I had the patience i could probably make more money than I do now.
