What About Before I Have My License?
In California I can take care of one family legally without being licensed. A friend is looking for work and asking me to take care of her children while I'm waiting for my license. Can I claim write offs during this time? I think I read that I cannot claim the mortgage, utilities and all that but can I claim other things like craft supplies and the like. Not sure since I'm still legal but not licensed.
Also, while I am getting my business ready...buying things that the business needs (but not yet licensed) can I write those things off? Office supplies, marketing, home improvement, computers, etc...or do I have to buy all those things after I get my license in order to claim it on my taxes? I'd really like to have all my ducks in a row asap. Plus some of it I will need to do before the home inspection. Do I have to have children in my care to claim these things? Seems I should be able to...yes? No?

yes you can write off anything that you needed to purchase to start the business, including classes and licenses. Make sure that you keep all of your reciepts... Also look into a program called minute menu kids online. it is a very helpful program for DCP
good luck

The manual says I can do it, but isn't clear if I can do both at the same time.

I was told NO. one family period. you cannot care for more than one family at a time. does not matter how many children they have, but have to be from the same household
I would call licensing just to make sure you are doing things right. that would suck if you were trying to provide honest care and you were cited for non compliance of regultaions before even getting your license.......
