Key Quotes
“If you hire your spouse in your business and you pay them cash wages or direct deposit wages, you're simply moving income from one area of your return to another. So you're getting a tax deduction from paying them wages, but now you're reporting that as income on the tax return that you guys do together.” – Mike Jesowshek, CPA
