The problem is that during summer and school breaks my clients (teachers/one parent at home) would
like
to sleep in and drop the kids off sometime before lunch. I would lose around 4 hours per day of time/space hours during this time.
I
considered
being more flexible with my drop-off cut-off time (9:00) requirements for 2020, but this policy is one that helps keep my deductions in check.
It all adds up. I guess I'll just stick to my current policy.
Thanks!!
It's okay to argue with me! Although I didn't take what you said as an argument. It's always appropriate to ask me or your tax preparer or the IRS, "Where does it say that?"
If your husband is self employed and works at your home, he must have an office or other space that is exclusively used for his business. In that case, he doesn't count hours, because the room is never used personally.
