Daycare and Taxes>Deduct Shipping and Handling for Online Purchases?
earlystart 02:30 PM 02-12-2014
I wasn't able to find this by searching threads, so, does anyone know if you can deduct the shipping costs of items you buy for the daycare online? I know we can include sales tax, but now I'm wondering about shipping costs. If so, do we just include it as part of the item price, or keep a separate category for shipping expenses? For example, if I buy a toy online for $5, and shipping is $5, and tax is $0.40, do I consider this item's cost to be $10.40?

In my opinion, I can't see why not. It is still an expense for your business.

I do. I include it as part of the cost of the item.

I include shipping as the cost of getting the item to your daycare, just like you could include mileage if you drove to get the object.

Shipping costs are part of the cost of the item, so count it as $10.40.
