You may not have to collect or pay payroll taxes (social
security and medicare, FUTA) on "family employees". See Pub
15 for the rules.

If you hire them, you haveto pay them a wage. You need to
file quarterly and annual payroll tax forms, including a
W-2. Then show the gross wages on Schedule C under the
Salaries and Wages line.

Default hiring own children in sole proprietary business

I understand one can hire his/her own children, 7 to 18
years old, to help his/her sole proprietary business. Where
do I show this expense in Schedule C? Is there a special
form to fill out for this expense?
