I work in family day care as a relief educator. I am registered with and approved to provide relief care through a local provider. The individual services who operate through them pay me directly (I invoice the individual services weekly for the work I do)

2021/2022 I worked for a single service 2-4 days a week using a mix of the owners resources and supplies and my own (accruing more out of pocket expenses than when working odd days at a variety of services).

My question is how do I correctly enter this on my tax return to claim these expenses. If I input as PSI its not liking the expenses…

If it were my own in home service would be a PSB however I’m not sure how this works when working in a single FDC facility but I’m being paid by the owner hourly and not leasing or paying rent and both using our own resources and supplies as well as shared.

I would invoice (with abn) and she would pay the full amount, depending on the hours worked each week.

i hope this makes sense, thank you :)

Hi @Appleskyline,


In general, when you earn PSI, you are treated as though you are in the same position as an employee. This could be a reason as to why you are having difficulties when inputting your deductions. There are some deductions that cannot be claimed when receiving PSI.


We have a great page for claiming deductions when receiving PSI that you may find helpful.


When completing your tax return and including your PSI. We have some instructions that may help if you are lodging through myTax.
