I just got a new job and had a baby. I go back to work Monday and I am now taking a bus to get to the city 2.25 each way so 4.50 a day and I pay 675 a month for childcare 4 days a week.
Can you write these things off in your taxes so it is like money you never made. Example if I pay 1200 a year for the bus ride is it like I made 30,000 instead of 31,200 if that is the situation. And the same thing for the daycare, can you write it off so it is like i made 20,000 instead of 30,000 if I paid 10,000 for a year of daycare? I get a receipt for daycare but not for the bus? Thank you any help is greatly appreciated.
At work they have this account where they can take money out and pay your daycare and it is like money you never made but it is complicated and if you don't use it you lose it and I would just rather do it in my taxes if possible if it is the same scenio.
Thanks
