Welcome to the world of daycare!!! Based on your post step one would be to check your state regulations to see if they allow a daycare space to be in the garage.... not all states do.

In my opinion having a daycare in your home provides great tax deductions but I have always had itemized deductions so it was just a shift of the type for me. I always hired an accountant - this year I am going with my same old accountant but I plan to switch to a daycare specific accountant in 2018.
