Frequently Asked Questions

Can you itemize daycare costs on taxes?

Yes. As a daycare facility owner, many property-related expenses are deductible, including depreciation of the building and its components. A cost segregation study takes this further by reclassifying building assets—flooring, electrical systems, specialty fixtures, and site improvements—into shorter 5, 7, or 15-year depreciation categories, dramatically increasing your itemized deductions in the early years of ownership.
