Depends ... do you treat them as sub contractors / casual laborers or as employees and file payroll tax reports quarterly ?

There are 17 unique categories for entering business expenses in the TurboTax Home and Business program for a Schedule C. If you have a particular expense that does not fit in the other 16 categories listed use Other Miscellaneous Expenses at the bottom of the list.

I think employee would work best. I wouldn't have to withhold taxes as they are both under 18. Would it be under Household employee (schedule H). Thanks

Level 15

Yes, they are employees. No, they are not Household Employees.

When you are in the business section reporting your expenses for your business, there should be a place to enter wages to employees.

You did send out W-2s, right? If not, that needs to be done (and pay late-filing penalties).
