Can I file my little brother as a dependent?
A little background, my little brother is a full-time college student that makes no income. My first question is whether I can claim my brother as a dependent even though my parents also claim him as a dependent. My second question is, how will it impact my tax return if I claim him as a dependent and indicate my contributions as an expense?

repayment of sick days paid by payroll error
my employer paid me 5 days of sick leave by mistake, I wasn't sick. I want my sick day accrual bank rebalanced, my employer offered me a solution that requires a total repayment to get my 5 sick days back. However, they paid me $1833.8 in total, $1188.37 of which went to pretax deduction, union due, pension, 457b plan, etc. $187.21 went to taxes, net pay was $458.22, what's the tax impact if I pay them back the whole amount? if I use my sick days in the future, I would be taxed again right? thanks!!!

Resident in 1 state, received unemployment and retirement cash out from another, do I file in both states?
Lived in WI all of 2022. Received unemployment from CA. The claim carried over from when I lived there in 2021. Claim ended mid 2022 when I only lived in WI. Cashed out retirement in 2021 from CALSTRS but received an additional check in January of 2022. Do I need to file income taxes in just WI where I was a resident or do I need to file in both states due to the income I received from unemployment and retirement from CA?
