Invoices and craziness

Ok. After a lot of work we were able to make the 48 toys for the Red balloon and gave them to Paul (the owner) this morning. I forgot to make any kind of an invoice but I went home and with the help of templates from Word I created an invoice that I think looks professional and will do the job. This has led me to many different questions that I need to get answered. Like what do I need to know about taxes for my business. Do I need to claim my family members that helped out on the project as employees or can I keep them all out of that mess and just pay them a portion of the profits. There are so many things that I need to learn. I think that a good contact for me to ask these questions is a guy named Dale, who owns a company and should know first hand about all my questions. I will email him and see what I can find out.
