Hello new followers. This is my personal account that I will be posting fursuiting, day to day nonsense, and occasionally business stuff. Working on get a website on the business side and opening for commissions. I hope I don't bore you too much.
@Bunnyfootato Easiest in terms of paperwork would be to classify your friend as an independent contractor (they are their own business) and you pay them and file a 1099-misc. It does shift some of the tax burden to the other person and you write it down as one of your expenses.
