You figure the depreciation percentage for business use of your home based upon two percentages.

One, find the Business Use Percentage by figuring the size of the child care area versus the size of your house. There are two common ways to figure this area: (a) divide actual square footage of the child care area by the total area of your home, or (b) if rooms are almost equal in size, divide the number of rooms used for child care by the total number of rooms in your home.

Two, find the percentage of time using the area if it isn't used exclusively for child care by figuring time used versus total time. For example, the child care area is used 10 hours/day for 5 days/week for 50 weeks, which totals 2,500 hours for the year. Divide 2,500 by total number of hours in the year (24 x 366) for the Time Used Percentage (28.46 percent). If the area is used exclusively for child care, then the use percentage is 100 percent.

Two types of expenses are deductible: direct and indirect. The Business Use Percentage is applied to direct expenses (expenses only for the child care area). Business Use Percentage (multiplied by Time Use Percentage if area not exclusively used for child care) is applied to Indirect expenses (expenses to upkeep/run your home such as insurance, utilities,etc.). This information is entered on Form 8829 (Expenses for Business Use of Your Home).

For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics for Topic 509: Business Use of Home). Also go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 587: Business Use of Your Home (Including Use by Daycare Providers). Publication 587 includes Worksheet to Figure the Deduction for Business Use of Your Home.

What age do you pay FICA Tax?

In most cases, there is no minimum age for payroll tax withholding. Parents do not have to withhold payroll taxes on payments for services of a child under the age of 18 who works in a trade or business if the trade or business is a sole proprietorship or a partnership in which each partner is a parent of a child. Parents do not have to withhold payroll taxes for a child under the age of 21 for work other than a trade or business (such as work in the home). There is a wage test for domestic household workers of $1,700/year (2011); individuals who pay someone less than that (including parents who employ their children) do not have to withhold taxes. I don't find any minimum age or minimum wage test for other employers withholding payroll taxes.

Where to enter child's w2 income?

On the child's Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. A separate tax return must be filed by the child (or for the child if the child is too young). A parent cannot report a child's W-2 income on the parent's tax return. The only time a parent can report a child's income on the parent's return is if the kiddie tax applies and the child's only source of income is interest and dividends.
