You must issue the W-2's. Children under 18 do not need to have social security and medicare taxes withheld. Even though they won't owe any taxes, a W-2 still has to be issued to them.
If you have already started your schedule C business entries,you should see a question that asks if you paid any employees under the business profile. There will also be a link to create and file the W-2's with TurboTax Quick Employer Forms or you can use the link below.
If you haven't set up the business yet, the question will be asked as you are setting it up.
File the forms as soon as you can as the deadline was 1/31/18. The longer you wait, the greater the penalties can be.
