Today TaxMama hears from John in the TaxQuips Forum, who wants to employ students.“ The business I work for is very small.

It is a nonprofit educational facility, and we are swamped with work, without financial leverage to hire additional staff. I want to recommend the hiring of interns at a fair hourly wage. I am a recent college graduate and I know department heads love to advertise internship opportunities to their students. My question is – I know we would have to add them to payroll and have payroll taxes taken out. But what about the implications of hiring these students for seasonal opportunities or something like 3/4 month assignments? When we let them go for a new round of interns, will they be able to try to collect unemployment benefits?”
Hi John,
Oh yes, I can just see those unemployment percentage rates zooming up!
Think about this, if you’re concerned about racking up unemployment credits. Talk to the college about offering grants to students. I’ve seen people come to me who have received grants that required them to do so many hours of work with the university or a sponsor. That would get you the interns.
That would get money into the hands of the interns. They would pay tax on the money, regardless – unless the grants were designed to cover the cost of their tuition and/or books/supplies (which might be an even better idea). Money for tuition and books would not be taxable. Your company would not have to deal with payroll or unemployment. The students get the benefit of experience and training in a forward-looking company.
What do you think?
