So I gave DCM a choice of paying either $30/day and she provide all the food, or pay $35/day and I will provide all the food. They have chosen to go with the $35/day option.

So now, is it correct for me to use the $35/day as her daily rate in her contract?

And also, can I also now claim the food (using the standard IRS deuction)I will be buying with this extra $5/daily fee?

Do I know also claim the whole $35/day as income or just the $30?

I'm confusing myself....
