First Employee
“I officially hired my teenage children to work in my family business, are their specific wages legally exempt from FICA and unemployment taxes?”
Your first hire means payroll tax, withholding, and state registration. Setting it up correctly the first time is far cheaper than fixing it later.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
“Should I pay someone as a 1099 contractor or an employee for tax purposes?”
“How do I know if I should hire someone as a contractor or employee for taxes?”
“I am hiring my first worker, should they be 1099 or W-2 for tax reasons?”
“What changes on my taxes if I use a 1099 contractor instead of an employee?”
