Can you start a business if you are claimed as a dependent on someone elses taxes?
I am 20 and going to college. I am still living at home (in WI) while i go to school and would like to get my business started; however, I am claimed as a dependent on my parents taxes. Can I still file and start an LLC in WI even though I am still claimed as a dependent on my parents taxes?
Yes, you can start a business. When you do your taxes, you just can’t take an exemption for yourself since your parents are already taking it.

first if all forget the LLC
if you want to start a small business for yourself that is fine
you can file your Sch C and Sch SE on your own 1040, but not taking your personal exemption since your indicate your parents are doing that
you are allowed limited standard deduction on your own return
