| For an unlicensed day care provider, I know the regulations are clear about not being able to deduct any business use of home expenses, but what about all other ordinary expenses, including snacks and meals served? | |

| ?? Really? I wouldn't care whether they're licensed or not...and indeed, licensing isn't even required in my area unless you're doing I think more than 4 kids...? Hoping that's not a hijack. | |

| JR is correct - state law governs. Publication 587. Sec. 280A(b)(4)(B)(iii). | |

| You just treat it as if it was any other business. Licensing has nothing to do with taxation of income. | |
