I am US business and want to hire kids to market my product

Is there a minimum age required? I give out 1099's as it's a commission job

Thanks

15 with parents consent. I would suggest 18.;)

Thanks lisa, are you an accountant?

Also when you say consent, how do I verify that? Do I need a signature from the parent

I doubt seriously there's any age requirement about a 1099. It's about whether you can employ them or not and what they're allowed to do, not whether you can send a piece of paper to them. If they're allowed to do the work, you're allowed to send the piece of paper.

U.S. Department of Labor - Find It By Topic - Youth & Labor - Age Requirements

What is the minimus age for filing a MISC 1099. We hold an annual event and give away awards.

Thank you
