According to the IRS, if you are self-employed or own a business, you can employ your child and deduct their wages as a business expense which in turn reduces your taxable profit.    A single member LLC is reported on Schedule C of your personal 1040.  

 

Where do I enter self-employed business expenses?   In TurboTax Online, the expense category is Employee Wages.  In TurboTax Desktop Home & Business, the category is Employee Expenses.
