Hiring your children in your business may offer legitimate tax advantages when done properly.
Wages paid to your child may be deductible as a business expense, and depending on their age and your business structure, there may also be payroll tax savings available.
To help stay compliant with IRS rules:
- The work must be legitimate
- Pay should be reasonable for the work performed
- Hours and job duties should be documented
- Proper payroll records should be maintained
Talk with your tax professional before setting up payroll for family members.
