Paying your child for content

Varies

Can You Write Off Paying Your Child for Content?

Short answer: Wages paid to your child for real work in your channel are deductible, and kids under 18 working for a parent's sole proprietorship skip payroll taxes.

Pay a reasonable rate and keep timesheets.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
