Can I pay my 15-year-old and 18-year-old children for working on my business, and what are the tax implications for each? Specifically, I want to know if I can pay my 15-year-old up to $12,950 tax-free and without FICA taxes, and how to handle payroll and FICA taxes for my 18-year-old.

Can I still file my 2021 taxes if my parents claimed me as a dependent on their taxes for 2021, and how would that affect them? Also, if I file a paper return, how long would the process take, and am I going to have to pay any fines for filing late if my income for 2021 was $0?

I'm legally married but my husband doesn't live with me. My child lives with me, and I provide 100% of the support. My husband gets Social Security Disability, and I'm his representative payee. His social security money goes directly to his rent, and I contribute to his electric bill. He lives with his girlfriend. Can I file as head of household without listing my husband on my taxes?

I need clarification on Illinois sales tax and use tax for a sign company in Chicago. Specifically, as a contractor, are we considered the purchaser and should not withhold sales tax from our customers? Instead, should we be expensing use tax? Additionally, can we be exempted from use tax reporting and remittance using our certificate of registration number? If not, how do we report and pay use tax to the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR)?
