Thank you for reaching out here in the Community, mtsheridancpa and txcpachrislee.

 

We can always set up your child like other employees who are tax-exempt in QuickBooks Online. We have an article that can guide you in details: Employee payroll tax exemptions.

 

Once done, we can already assign the pay schedule and create payroll checks.

 

Keep us posted if you need anything else regarding the setup. Have a great day!

Jumping in here too, but the answer looks like it only exempts them from withholding requirements. A dependent child working for me is except from FICA as well. Is there a way to set this?
