Learning Objective

  • Differentiate between an employee and a contractor.
  • Identify which entities can hire the owner’s child and pay no employer taxes.
  • Understand how parents can save on FUTA by hiring their child over 18 but younger than 22.
  • Substantiate a child’s employment in their parent’s business.

Course Overview

Business owners often seek ways to reduce their tax bills while spending more time with their families. For many, the freedom to achieve both goals is a crucial reason they started their businesses. One effective strategy is to hire family members into the company.

If you have tax clients with growing businesses and families, this is a strategy you should recommend. It allows them to reduce their tax liability while keeping the spending power within the household. Hiring a minor child as an employee can save on employer taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment tax.

Key topics covered:

  • Employer taxes are saved by hiring a minor child. 
  • Employer vs. Contractor 
  • How much can a child make before paying Federal income taxes?  
  • Employer taxes are saved by hiring a child over 18 but under 21. 
  • Substantiating your child is an employee

Join this CE Course; we will explore how to implement this strategy, ensuring the taxpayer has the appropriate entity type to maximize potential tax savings. We will also review the essential steps to prove that the child is a legitimate employee, performing work that justifies their compensation.
