I have a few questions:

Earlier this year, we had an issue with one of our porch beams rotting. We decided to take down the railing surrounding the porch and have another beam put up instead. We also painted them. This has drastically improved the look of our home from the outside.

It would have been a potential liability if we didn't have it corrected. My question is: can it be claimed on taxes for the daycare since this porch is used everyday to do arrivals and departures?

We also purchased a freezer awhile back. I make up the kids daycare menu for breakfast and lunch a month ahead of time so I always make sure to either make up or purchase everything and freeze it until its time to use it. Can this be used as a tax deduction.

This weekend we will be giving the daycare room a much needed make over. Paint, trim, etc. Are these tax deductible items?
