Maximize Tax Savings with Child Care-Specific Credits and Deductions

As a child care provider, your business may qualify for numerous tax credits and deductions specifically tailored to your industry. Our CPA team has deep expertise in navigating these opportunities to ensure you benefit from every available tax-saving measure. From employee-related credits to facility depreciation, we strategically apply credits and deductions that reduce your tax liability and improve cash flow.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)

The WOTC provides a federal tax credit for hiring employees from specific target groups, such as veterans, long-term unemployed individuals, and individuals receiving government assistance. Child care centers often qualify for these credits, especially when supporting workforce diversity. Our CPAs help you identify eligible hires and apply for WOTC credits, reducing your tax burden while enhancing your workforce.

• Eligibility Assessment: We assess your workforce to identify employees who qualify for WOTC, helping you take advantage of these valuable credits.
• Application Guidance: Our team provides end-to-end support in the WOTC application process, ensuring compliance and maximizing credit amounts.

Facility and Equipment Depreciation

Child care providers often make significant investments in facilities, playground equipment, and learning materials. We ensure you benefit from accelerated depreciation and Section 179 deductions where applicable, allowing you to lower taxable income by expensing qualifying assets. This strategy provides substantial tax relief and improves cash flow for further growth and investment.

• Asset Classification: Our CPAs categorize and classify assets to apply the most favorable depreciation schedules and deductions.
• Section 179 Expensing: For qualified equipment, we apply Section 179 deductions, enabling immediate expensing to reduce taxable income in the year of purchase.

Employee Retention Credit (ERC)

The ERC was introduced to support businesses that retained employees during economic challenges, including the recent pandemic. Our CPAs help child care providers claim ERCs for eligible wages, providing financial relief while maintaining workforce stability. This credit is especially valuable for child care centers facing fluctuating enrollments and payroll expenses.

• Credit Calculation: We calculate eligible wages and apply the ERC, ensuring compliance with IRS guidelines and maximizing credit amounts.
• Documentation Assistance: Our team supports you in gathering the necessary documentation for ERC claims, simplifying the process and ensuring accurate filing.

Our CPA team ensures that child care providers take full advantage of industry-specific tax credits and deductions, optimizing tax savings and enhancing financial flexibility. Let us help you reduce tax liabilities while supporting the growth and stability of your child care business.
