There is an independent preparation of taxes by someone with accounting or bookkeeping expertise.

• Bill/invoice from tax preparer

AND

• Tax form with preparer’s signature

To meet this Standard, evidence MUST include ALL of the following:

• A bill/invoice from a tax preparer; MUST be someone other than the family child care provider.
AND
• IRS Tax form(s) with the tax preparer's signature.

Attention:

• The uploaded tax forms MUST contain the tax preparer's signature or other electronic identification.

Family child care providers have many responsibilities and it is easy to make accounting errors. In order to protect your family child care business, it is important to have another person with accounting expertise prepare your tax forms.
