I will rent a house to live in & for daycare (12 children). Do I pay 2 rents? Set up as nonprofit & LLC?

Question

Pay 2 rents so I can write off taxes for the daycare rent?
Nonprofit for tax breaks?
LLC for liability purposes?

Answer 1

if you do the day care from your home you will only pay one rent and if you go thur your local social services and get properly licensed they will remburse you for a portion of your untiliies and rent to compensate for the childcare, on top of the pay for your services. there is so really good money in it...

As Far as I see there no reason to pay 2 rents. But what I see is , based on what premises you are going to set up your (profit) business as a non profit????? would you explain me that?

The child care business that I know that work as a non-profit are the one that belongs to an already recognized non profit orgs like churches. you need to be very carefull with that not only to evade taxes, sooner or later the IRS will find out and you will need a good layer and $$$$$$ to get off them.
