Home Daycare Money Workbook
One workbook for the whole tax year. You type into the yellow cells, and the formulas do the rest.
- Families & Tuition Ledger: rates, payments and unpaid balances per family.
- Attendance: 12 monthly grids.
- Meals Log: counts meals and snacks and estimates the standard meal allowance. The IRS-accepted rates for 2026 are prefilled for the contiguous US, Alaska and Hawaii, and a check flags any day that goes over the per-child limit.
- Expenses: log receipts as direct or shared. Shared items are multiplied by your time-space %.
- Time-Space: the IRS Pub. 587 method, including exclusive-use rooms (try the free version).
- Mileage: 2026 IRS rates prefilled (72.5¢ through June 30, 76¢ from July 1). You can edit them.
- Parent Statement: pick a family and print a one-page year-end payment statement.
- Dashboard: month-by-month summary and an estimated Schedule C picture for your tax preparer.
Screenshots show the SAMPLE file (a fictional daycare). The BLANK file is ready for your own year. The workbook gives planning estimates and leaves out depreciation, self-employment tax and the Form 8829 income limit. It's general information, not tax advice.

Good to know
- Built for US home daycare providers: US Letter pages, state licensing references and IRS tax methods. Providers in Canada: see the Canadian edition.
- The spreadsheets have no macros. In Excel, sheets are protected without a password, so you can unprotect them if you want to change the layout.
- The files were built and checked in LibreOffice using standard features that Word, Excel, Google Docs and Google Sheets all support. If anything looks off in your app, tell us.
- Tax figures (mileage and meal rates) come from irs.gov and usda.gov, and each one is an editable cell with its source noted.
Questions
Will the forms meet my state's licensing rules?
We can't promise that, because every state (and sometimes every county) has its own licensing requirements. The forms are a well-organized starting point: every fee, notice period and threshold is a [BRACKETED] placeholder you edit, and the agreement and handbook include a short provider note reminding you to check your state rules. Compare them with your licensing checklist before you use them.
Can I add my logo and business name?
Yes. Each form has a dashed logo box and a letterhead with your business name and contact line. Put your logo over the box and use Find & Replace for the placeholders.
Does the Money Workbook work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload it to Google Drive, open it, then choose File › Save as Google Sheets. A one-page how-to guide (Word and PDF) is included. The formula cells are protected in Excel to prevent accidents. Google Sheets doesn't keep that protection, so type only in the yellow cells there.
Which tax year is the workbook for?
The 2026 edition. You use one copy per tax year, and the tax year is a setting. The 2026 IRS mileage rates (72.5¢ to June 30, 76¢ from July 1) and the standard meal and snack rates are prefilled from official sources, and every rate is an editable cell.
Does the workbook do my taxes?
No. It gives planning estimates and organized totals for you and your tax preparer. It does not include depreciation, self-employment tax, the Form 8829 income limit or the Schedule A split. It's general information, not tax advice.
I'm in Canada. Will these work for me?
This edition is written for US providers (US Letter, state licensing, IRS rules). For Canada, get the Canadian edition: provinces and territories, CAD, kilometres, °C, and CRA child care receipts, business-use-of-home % and a km vehicle logbook.
Can I get a refund?
Bought on this website and changed your mind before we've emailed your files? Email support@zambrworks.com and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked. Once the files are sent, they can't be returned, so there are no change-of-mind refunds, but if a file doesn't open or something isn't right, contact us and we'll make it right. Etsy purchases are an instant download, so the before-sending refund doesn't apply to them; see the terms.
