DO NOT Place Your Children on Payroll! Here's Why...

[@grace2garden403]

Make a job description for the position you are hiring them for. Have them go through and interview as well and sign a contract for work to be performed as well as frequency. Also have them fill out time cards, I. The process you are teaching them valuable professional and organizational skills.

Wow I was literally filing my taxes and came across this video.. My daughter actually does work in my business but it's only certain holidays, she does chocolate covered treats and fruit. I always pay her in cash. She only makes about 2k a year. I definitely need help

[@lacosaccountingservice.5175]

I have my mom on payroll and I do exactly what you said, I give her sometimes direct deposits and sometimes paper checks deposited in her account.

[@cootsdancer89]

Last ? - I’m sorry…. 😬 How are parents helping kids contribute to the Roth IRA if their w2 is set up as a tax-exempt family employee? Do they have to be set up for tax deductions, in order to contribute to the Roth IRA? & then file a return to get a refund? Thanks in advance. You’re amazing!!! 🙏🏼

Somewhere between pitfall #2 and #3, i got lost. For #2, paying your children through a management company rather than putting them on payroll under corporation. I get that. But for #3, how do I properly document tax holding for the children if their salary comes from management company, not the corporation itself? Appreciate your thoughts.

I have been a W2 employee for several years now, looking to open up my own LLC. while working under the W2, I get paid, what we call, split checks. which means, i get paid by the hour with overtime after 40, my truck gets paid a certain amount per hour (rig pay), which is un taxed, and no overtime. I also get paid a certain amount of Perdiem (untaxed) every day. could you do a video on how employers go about paying their employees. I don't understand how the rig pay and prediem get paid on the business side of things. If i were to offer that to my employees.

Yes it is true that you must make sure that your children are actually doing something. But what is not true as you do? Not have to file AW2 on them as song is. They are your own children under the age of 18 and you do not have to file holdings.

I watch at least 1 of your videos daily. Always insightful, educational, and much appreciated! To clarify here, if the Holding Co. is a C-Corp, a child's payroll tax cannot be avoided? This can only be avoided if the Holding Co. is setup as a LLC or S-Corp?

[@pedropreciado9067]

It has to be an LLC because s and c Corp has the payroll tax

You don’t need to to give them a w-2 or a 1099. children under 18 can be paid as "outside labor" under your LLC. Seems like he’s only talking about s-orc-corp

This video was so beneficial and informative! The only other question I still have is, when or at what point in a business owner’s income or tax bracket does putting your children on payroll become beneficial? In other words, do I need to be bringing in a minimum amount of revenue for me to benefit from putting my kids on payroll?

if you dont do the management company and you have to pay the payroll taxes, what's the downside? the payroll taxes are tax deductible for the biz, correct? are you doing it that way to avoid paying out the taxes on the employee side? or am i missing something? thanks so much! also, can you do this with your parent if they get social security benefits? or will that additional income make them have to file?

Hi, I tried to schedule a consultation, but there are no appointments available. I have a child-employment question as a result of watching one of your other videos indicating that multi-member LLCs offer better audit protection. I'm divorced with joint legal and 40% physical custody of my daughter (I e. My ex is the custodial parent for the purposes of claiming the dependent). Can I form a M-LLC and make my daughter a 1% member and still pay her up to the standard deduction tax free? Do I also need to pay her 1% of annual distributions and is that also tax free (income and FICA)? Is the pay to my daughter still deductible from my LLCs annual income?

So how should we pay our kids if we're not ready for S-Corp and C-Corp yet as an LLC?

[@santaananewspost714]

Sole proprietor here with a filed County DBA. Can we also hire our children as a sole proprietor or is this only for Corps and LLC’s?

[@bbui949]

According to the IRS.gov "If the business is a corporation, a partnership (unless each partner is a parent of the child), or an estate (even if it is the estate of the deceased parent of the child)" Am I reading this incorrectly? does this mean that if an the S corporation is owned by the parents of the child, the S corporation does not have to collect payroll taxes?

[@Bormanb23]

Are you positive about the children still having to pay payroll taxes because what I’ve read is that if they are children on W-2 working for the parents then they don’t pay payroll taxes

[@EzDeanFassassi]

Great video!

[@alisondavis1023]

Thanks for sharing this valuable information. I still have a question. After creating the management company, this company will place the children under payroll to use the exception for the Medicare and Social security tax, or it is another way?

[@sandersshameka31]

Yeah, the FMC formed through the LLC is the one that employs the kids. The kids work under the FMC doing work for the S-Corp or C-Corp. Your S-Corp or C-Corp pays the FMC. The FMC then takes that money and pays the children. Annually, the S-Corp or C-Corp writes off the money spent for the FMC services as a business expense. The FMC writes of the money spent paying the children as a business expense as well. Example: You own a temp. Service(your FMC). Your kids come in looking for a job. You send them to a warehouse(your S-Corp) to work for 6 months. The warehouse(S-corp) monthly pays the temp service for providing workers. The temp service(FMC), every month, takes that money and pays your kids. Your kids get paid every month by the FMC through their custodial bank account(documentation). The difference in this vs the real-world temp service is that you OWN all the companies mentioned above just with different EIN #s One benefit is that your kids can have a custodial roth ira and build wealth overtime now that they are employed.

[@kimruiz7173]

@@sandersshameka31 does the FMC have to do payroll for the children?

Deducted as a Management (or whatever type of work they are doing) expense is my guess.

But my thing is how do you report that on your tax return how do you report that you paid your child from your LLC Everybody talks about pain the child but nobody talks about the process
