I recently had a child and I was thinking about having them model for some stock photography images.  I read that you can open a custodial Roth IRA account for your child and can contribute the child's earned income to the retirement account.  Since I'm a sole proprietor I don't have to deduct payroll taxes and as long as they earned less than I believe $12,500K they don't have to file a tax return.

Has anyone done this before?  If so how much do you pay them per photo session?  I don't think I can just pay them $6k for one session to max out their contributions for the year.  Thanks!

Keep in mind you can only pay $600 until you have to send out a 1099.

$600.01 but that's just the law. Over $600 must file a 1099.

Otherwise, aside from a 1 cent detail, good point!
