Hasn't it/doesn't it?

Can both the two question tags be correct? -It has to be that, hasn't it/doesn't it?-We have to go, haven't we/don't we?-She has not this, has she/does she?-They have a good day, haven't they/don't they?
Are the following within a set identical in meaning and usage? -I've got to do my homework.-I've to do my homework.??? -I have to do my homework.
-She has not this. -She has not got this. -She does not have this.
-Has she this? -Has she got this? -Does she have this?
These negative ones are all wrong or not possible, aren't they? -I've not got to do my homework.??? -I've not to do my homework.??? -I have not to do my homework.??
Thanks for your comment!

The tag question uses the auxiliary that is, or would be used with the main verb. If the main verb is negated, the tag is positive and vice versa. The tenses match.

No. People seldom use 'have' like that anymore these days.

American English turned away from that around 1950, and British English about 25 years later.

That means that nowadays you use auxiliary do for questions and negations of non-auxiliary 'have', although
