I am a self-employed hair stylist in Lake Charles, Louisiana, aged 24 with two daughters. My income for the year was $30,880. I am unsure whether to claim my daughters as dependents or if my fiancé should. Additionally, I need guidance on how to handle quarterly tax payments since my income can be unpredictable.

I received a large deposit from Treasury after SS Disability was approved in April 2023, but a private insurance company took 95% of it as a refund of overcompensation. I have a W2 from the insurance company, but no acknowledgement of taking $85,500 from the award, and they're an item J box 12 entry, non-taxable. Do I need to file 2022 taxes first, and if so, can I apply the 2022 portion to 2022 and the rest to lump sum in 2023?
