I just finished my record keeping for the short time I was in operation as a child care provider (opened doors Sept 28th) and my total deductions are upwards of $3,000! We finished out the basement and added a playroom and a nap room so the kids would have a place to play/sleep so those were the big expenses but I just feel like my deductions are a little too high for the short time I was in service.. I have a receipt to back up every purchase made but wondering if i'm missing something. Listed below is a breakdown of my calculations. If anyone sees any red flags with this, please advise!

UTILITIES DEDUCTION-$550.96(gas, electric, trash, etc.)
HOUSE DEDUCTION-$67.34 (home insurance)
MAINTENANCE DEDUCTION- $988.89 (playroom/nap room)
BUSINESS EXPENSE DEDUCTION-$1,445.39(supplies)
MILEAGE DEDUCTION -$285.26(based on .535 a mile)
MEAL DEDUCTION-$387.02(standard meal plan)
GRAND TOTAL DEDUCTIONS-$3,337.85
