You're already paying for your kids' phone, clothes, and gas with money you paid tax on. There's a way to pay them for real work in your business instead, deduct every dollar, and have them owe $0 federal income tax on it (up to $16,100 in 2026).
The IRS is fine with it — as long as you treat it like a real job. This toolkit is the whole system, built specifically for landscaping and lawn care businesses:
✅ The 11-page Playbook — why it works, how your entity changes the math, the four rules that make it audit-proof, and the one-afternoon setup
✅ 5 Fillable Templates — job description sheet, weekly timesheet (both-sign, self-totalling), pay-rate proof log, new-hire paperwork checklist, payroll setup checklist
✅ The 50 Jobs List — fifty real, deductible landscaping jobs sorted by age band, with the equipment and driving limits built in
✅ The Savings Calculator — enter wages, your rate, and your entity → see your estimated net family benefit, with the QBI and payroll-tax effects both accounted for
Set it up before December 31st and re-use each year!
