Let Uncle Sam Foot The Cost Of Advertising Your Home Daycare Business

Did you know that as a home daycare business owner, you can deduct almost any Advertising Expense as a cost of doing business in the year the costs were paid or incurred?

You certainly can! Just as long as they are reasonably related to your business and you‘ve got the paperwork to back it up.

This is NOT an all inclusive list of deductible Advertising Expenses, but definitely worth further examination:

  • banner ads
  • banner & button design
  • blog design
  • blog maintenance
  • business cards
  • business name registration
  • car sign
  • classified ads (On & Off-line)
  • cost of giveaway items (calendars, pens, mugs, t-shirts)
  • design cost for marketing materials (brochures, flyers, etc.)
  • directory listings (On & Off-line)
  • domain name registration
  • flyers
  • Good Will advertising (sponsoring a little league team)
  • graphic design
  • internet advertisements
  • logo design
  • newspaper ads
  • post cards
  • press releases (writing and distribution)
  • radio & television ads
  • referral fees
  • t-shirts imprinted with your business name
  • website design
  • website maintenance (monthly fees or hosting)
  • yard sign
  • Yellow Page ads

    • Because every home daycare business situation is unique, be sure to consult your tax advisor to ensure you are taking the correct actions for your particular circumstances.
