C. Children's Exemption
Now let's take the examples above and see extra tax savings from using the child's release:
In the first example the children's exemption didn't provide any tax reduction but the earned income credit and child tax credit provided $4,985 to the family's income amounting to 34% of the family's whole profits.
The next example each child provided $405 in tax savings in adding up to the EITC and child tax credit, their whole payment to the family income is $5,045 or 17% of whole income.
The third example the children offer $461.5 in tax savings each in tax plus the extra advantage of the child tax credit of $1,000 each. This represents a total tax savings of $2,923. In this instance the children only contribute about 6.5% of the relations income. In the next part we will take a look at another advantage that is provided in the tax code the normal deduction.
D. the Child's standard deduction
Each child can earn up to the amount of their standard deduction without moving the credits or having a federal tax liability.
In the last example the parents are self employed. The self employed pay double social safety and Medicare tax and this tax is called self employment tax. On page 8 of IRS publication 15 (Circular E) under "Family workers" it states that "Payments for the services of a child under age 18 who work for his parent in a trade or business are not topic to social security and Medicare taxes if the trade or business is a proprietorship or company where each partner is a parents of the child."
The IRS doesn't let you charge for foodstuff or rent to your minor child but think of the potential. You no longer require setting a college fund, date fund, car fund, in some cultures a assignment fund. All of these expenses can come from the child's own funds. In the following two examples let's see how much you may save on now self employment tax. In this example $8,000 of deductible health cover premium and HSA contribution has been figured in the calculation.
