I was unlawfully fired from my job at a university in California and was out of work for 7 months. My employer wants to settle to avoid court and compensate me for lost income and emotional distress. I received unemployment benefits during this time. Can I ask for compensation only for emotional damage and not for lost income? How should I handle taxes for this type of settlement?

I work for a university in California. We have teachers who live in New York, Florida, and Texas and teach online classes for us. Do we have to report and pay their taxes in the state they live in or in California? Can we put them on 1099 since they work on their own time?

I started an agency in Utah that helps content creators build brands by creating ecommerce websites, sourcing products, and shipping orders for them. The creators are based all over the country and typically set up their own LLCs. If we are helping a creator based in Florida but we store and ship from our Utah warehouse, which state do we need to enroll in sales tax for to be compliant?
