Must I legally list my husband as an employee in my sole proprietorship?

[SamanthaWV]

What is the name of your state? West Virginia

I am in the process of getting the paperwork together to start my own business. I am the sole owner with no employees.

My husband intends to provide labor for my business as needed. He will be doing this without pay. Legally, must I list him as an employee?

Thank you,
Samantha

There is no requirement for you to do so.
