We use the solutions to the recursion relations for double-off-shell fermion currents to compute helicity amplitudes for {ital n}-photon scattering and electron-positron annihilation to photons in the massless limit of QED. The form of these solutions is simple enough to allow {ital all} of the integrations to be performed explicitly. For {ital n}-photon scattering, we find that unless {ital n}=4 the amplitudes for the helicity configurations (+++...+) and ({minus}++...+) vanish to one-loop order.
