    Is anybody giving this deduction to a Schedule C client with income less than $250K, but no official "employees?"

    I know the instructions say "employees" but since the sole owner of a Sch C pays FICA on his 1040 I think it should count here.

    Thoughts?

    Client must have an actual employee. The sole proprietor does not count.

    You need to have filed W-2 forms to qualify.
