Your parents need to consult with a tax attorney. It is impossible to give you advice in this format Most of us offer a free consultation. Just tell your parents to stay away from the places they see advertised on TV.

You should setup an LLC in the state where you operate. Then determine if an S-election is appropriate for your LLC.

If you establish in WY you'll have to file a foreign registration in CA.

Hire a professional.

Q: Is a uniform allowance for an employee of a private company non-taxable?

Uniform allowance included in W-2 could be deducted only as an itemized deduction subject to 2% threshold. It would be best if the employer just buys the uniform for staff and doesn't include it in W-2, because by itemizing, staff loses some of the money, or some do not even itemize. good luck.
