Hire Your Kids, Maximize Your Savings: Specialized Payroll & Tax Compliance for Maryland Small Businesses
If you are a Maryland business owner, discover how you can legally hire your children, maximize your tax savings, and ensure full compliance—without the stress. Aventa Tax specializes in helping local businesses set up, manage, and process payroll for their children, so you can focus on growing your business and supporting your family.
Why Hire Your Kids in Your Business?
Tax Optimization: when structured properly, wages paid to your children are a legitimate business deduction, lowering your ordinary taxable business income. Additionally, there are special tax provisions applicable to minors who are employed by their parents.
Family Wealth Building: involve your kids in your business and wealth generation by paying them for real work, such as office help or marketing support, which allows them to contribute in a meaningful way.
