How to Legally Pay Your Children a Tax-Free Salary
According to the IRS, any minor making less than $12,000 per year does not have to report taxes on that income. This must be a legitimate salary paid from your family’s business, and said minors must be your children.
The Method You Can Use to Pay Your Credit Cards with Tax-Free Dollars
If you’re paying your children a salary, there is a great option for paying your credit cards with tax-free dollars. You can add your children as authorized users on your credit card, and then allow them to pay off any purchases with their tax-free earnings!
Examples of Age Appropriate Jobs for Children
This may vary based on your child’s age and your business. Some business owners use their children in marketing materials. In our business, we have our children do administrative work. They are responsible for shredding documents, putting stamps on outgoing mail, and scan receipts. You can learn more about this on Natali’s blog.
