Make Your Kid a Millionaire…Tax Free!!

What would you do if someone gave you $1,000,000? 

…AND if that $1M was TAX FREE!!

No, this isn't a “get rich quick scheme”…in fact it's quite the opposite. 

It’s a get rich really slowly plan.

Below is how to give your kids $1,000,000 TAX FREE!!!

So here is the strategy...

If or when you have kids, while they are young there is likely something they can do to help your business:   

  • organize your files

  • vacuum your office

  • take out the trash

  • etc

There are legitimate ways for them to work for you and in turn you pay them. 

Under the current tax structure, you can pay them up to $12,950…and it will be a tax write-off for your business…AND

…TAX FREE income for your child!

Here is the part where you help them out…

…open a ROTH IRA in their name.

The money you paid them is now eligible for a ROTH IRA contribution.

Next…Deposit the money into a ROTH IRA for their retirement. (Max allowed in 2022 = $6,000)

ROTH IRAs are only eligible for people that have earned income…meaning they are getting income from a job (income from dividends and interest do NOT count for ROTH IRA eligibility). 

Important Reminder….the upcoming scenario is a hypothetical example only, results will vary for you…this is educational only and NOT advice for your specific situation. 

ROTH IRA for Your Child Example:  

  • If you hire your 10 year old child, and pay them $10,000 a year (for doing legit work)

  • You give them $4,000 (or put towards college)…and then put $6,000 into their ROTH IRA 

  • Do this each year until they turn 17 (7 years of contributions for you)

  • You will have contributed appx $42,000 in their ROTH IRA during those 7 years

  • At age 70, your child would have appx $1,000,000 in their ROTH IRA. (Assuming a reasonable rate of return of 6%)

Key Benefits: 

  • Using the power of compounding interest, you can "give" your child approximately $1M by only contributing about $42,000

  • You receive business tax deductions to fund your child’s retirement

  • That money can be withdrawn completely tax free for your child (at retirement age)

  • You are teaching your child about financial education at a young age

This tax strategy of paying your kids can be used in a number of other ways...such as funding college expenses, etc. 

I wanted to highlight if you focused on putting that money into a ROTH IRA.  Especially the earlier the better because of the power of compounding interest.  

As a Fitness Coach, there are many opportunities like this available to you, and they might seem great but also overwhelming to pick the appropriate one for your circumstances.
