“Best $197 I spent all year. I was nervous I’d mess it up, but this made it super simple. Now saving about $4,700 a year and putting it straight into my kids’ savings.”
“Didn’t even know this was an option. The call explained everything and the audit protection sealed it for me. If you run a business and have kids, this is a no-brainer.”
“Honestly thought this sounded too good to be true. It’s not. Hired my twins and saved around $8,000 in taxes this year. Easy. Legal. Worth it.”

How much can I actually save?
Savings vary widely based on income, business type, number of children, and applicable rules. Some families save thousands; others see more modest benefits. Our goal is not to promise a number, but to design the most defensible strategy for your situation.
Is this legal?
Yes — when done correctly. Hiring your children has long been permitted, but wages, roles, and labor rules must be handled properly. That’s what we help you get right.
Why not just use AI or a calculator?
Tools and AI can generate numbers, but they can’t weigh conflicting rules, sign a CPA opinion letter, or stand behind a strategy. Small details often change the outcome.
Does this replace my CPA?
No. Many clients use PaprikaTax alongside their CPA. We focus specifically on hiring your kids and maximizing the related tax savings.
What if my situation is unusual?
That’s common. We review the information you submit to prepare your documentation. If you want live strategy and implementation guidance, choose the Done-With-You CPA Service.
What if this doesn’t save me money?
In some cases, a compliant approach may not reduce total tax — or may even increase it. Our role is to help you understand the tradeoffs and identify additional tax strategies that, when implemented alongside dependent compensation, often lead to meaningful savings.
