Deductions & credits
You can make a gift without paying gift tax although it needs to be reported, and your child can make gifts back.
If you treat it as a loan, the IRS expects you to conduct your business affairs in a businesslike manner, which means charging interest. If you don't charge interest, or charge less than the minimum rate, the IRS will require to pay tax on the interest income you would have received if you charged at least the minimum rate ("imputed interest"). See this video.

If you do charge interest, your child can deduct the interest as a business expense.

You have to report a gift of more than $14,000 per person per year. No gift tax is actually owed unless your lifetime total of gifts given is more than $5.4 million.

If you charge interest, you must report that interest as income. You and your child may wish to see a local professional to explore options, such as an equity investment.
