[quote=Anonymous]I’m just setting up payment for a new nanny. I withhold taxes, so I pay her taxes on my already post-tax dollars. It drives me kind of crazy. If you have two working parents or you are a single parent, you more or less need childcare to work. How is this not a business expense and tax-deductible? I guess that you could argue that you could get away with not having childcare, but you can also work from home and get away with not having a home office. Yet the home office is tax-deductible. And you could say that it’s a cost of living expense like food or rent, but it really isn’t. It’s an expense that I have because I am working. I just feel like the tax code is designed to penalize two income households. [/quote]
