Tax certificates: generate them for every family in a few clicks

The problem

Every start of year, the requests all land at once: families are preparing their tax return and want a certificate of the childcare fees paid the previous year. Calculating them by hand, family by family, tracking down every payment, takes days, and the risk of errors in the amounts is real.

Then come the tricky cases: children who left the setting during the year, invoices paid late, separated parents. Without a tool, these certificates become the dreaded chore of January.

How Kidola solves it

Kidola generates the tax certificates for all children at once, based on the payments actually recorded over the year. A dedicated export type, « attestation fiscale (année précédente) » (tax certificate, previous year), matches exactly what families ask for their tax return.

Children who have left remain accessible in the archives: their data is kept for three years, so you can produce their certificate just as easily as for children still enrolled. You check, you download, you drop it into each family's documents.

Step by step in the app

1. 1

   Open the child exports

   In Menu, open Exports then choose the Enfant icon (the second one). That is where all the per-child documents are generated.

2. 2

   Choose the right certificate type

   In the Types list, select « attestation fiscale (année précédente) »: this is usually the one parents need for their tax return. « Attestation fiscale » covers the current year.

3. 3

   Select the children, including archived ones

   Move between the active, inactive and archived categories so you miss no one: children who left during the year are in the archived ones.

4. 4

   Check the amounts

   The certificate is based on the payments made during the year. If an amount looks wrong, check the payment dates on the invoices concerned: a December invoice paid in January shifts to the following year.

5. 5

   Download and share

   Download the PDFs then drop each certificate into the child's Documents section: parents will find it in their portal. Sending is not automatic, this upload still needs to be done.

Pitfalls to avoid

• ⚠️A month is missing from the certificate: the invoice was paid in the following year. Correct the payment date on the invoice then regenerate the certificate.
• ⚠️A child who has left cannot be found: they are among the archived children. You can unarchive them, correct, regenerate and re-archive with no impact whatsoever on their data.
• ⚠️The generated PDF cannot be edited: any correction goes through the invoices and a regeneration.
