Meal Allowances

[sharlan]

My grandson lives with me (along with his parents and sister). I am paid to care for him while his parents work.

Can I claim his meals that are served while he is in my care? I do not use a food program.

Grandson and food

When you care for grandchildren (or other relatives) and are paid to provide this care, you can deduct food expenses for them. Only deduct food expenses for the meals/snacks served during times you are being paid to provide care.

Thank you for the info.
