I'm always searching on the Internet for tax and business resources that can help family child care providers.
Here are several tax preparer websites that offer articles and resources that can help you reduce your taxes.
Family Child Care Taxes - Alison Jacks is a tax professional in California. She has the most comprehensive website on family child care tax issues that I've seen. There are dozens of articles on record keeping, depreciation, business deductions, and more. She also has information on hiring employees in California.
Books by Kelly - Kelly Nokleby is an Enrolled Agent in Granite Falls, Minnesota. Her company website contains a detailed description of business deductions by expense category.
Daycare Tax Experts - Robert Groth is a tax preparer in Madison, Wisconsin. His website contains six short videos on family child care tax issues.
Pride Tax Preparation - Bill Porter is a tax professional in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. His website contains several useful worksheets, including a spreadsheet to track the hours you work
Slotaxpro - Valoree Higgens is an Enrolled Agent in Atascadero, California. Her website contains a number of articles on family child care tax issues, particularly on the Time-Space Percentage.
Note: I am not recommending that you use any of the tax preparers listed above. I am only listing them because of the helpful content on their website.
Let me know about other websites run by tax professionals that contain articles and resources that are useful to family child care providers.

I only listed tax preparer websites that contained content that was useful to child care providers. I am not recommending any of the tax preparers I listed. There is a tax preparer directory posted at www.nafcc.org (click on Business Center) that lists those who have experience doing family child care tax returns. The directory is somewhat dated.
