I understand one can hire his/her own children, 7 to 18
years old, to help his/her sole proprietary business. Where
do I show this expense in Schedule C? Is there a special
form to fill out for this expense?

If you hire them, you haveto pay them a wage. You need to
file quarterly and annual payroll tax forms, including a
W-2. Then show the gross wages on Schedule C under the
Salaries and Wages line.

You may not have to collect or pay payroll taxes (social
security and medicare, FUTA) on "family employees". See Pub
15 for the rules.
