Hiring Children vs. Spouse
Consider hiring your minor children instead of your spouse.
Children working for non-corporate businesses owned by their parents pay no payroll taxes and their earned income can fund a Roth IRA.

Spouse Salary Deduction
Hiring your spouse provides a business deduction for their salary but increases personal taxable income.
This isn't a true deduction unless it's an S-corp where distributions replace salary, creating payroll tax savings.

Legitimate Employment
Treat family employees like any other employee with contracts, W-2s, and defined roles.
This protects you from IRS scrutiny.
