club_cafe: Re: Adding a partner

club_cafe: Members Under the Age 18
Taxes are not a problem. Children file tax returns when their income reaches the appropriate level. I imagine that membership in the form of an UTMA/UGMA account would be acceptable, IF your partnership agreement allows it. The partnership agreement should also indicate how voting and ...
