Working for Independent consultant on OPT- possible or not ?

04-09-2014, 06:08 PM

As an international student on OPT, can I work for independent consultant ( start up company) who hires employees as subconsultants ? Also, he is not having payroll of his company. Its a certified company registered with the IRS and files company tax returns, but he do not have any employees, per se, nor do he withhold taxes from subconsultants. However, he does report employees earnings to the IRS and issue a 1099 Misc or something called as K1 form at the end of the year.

Please share your knowledge on this.

Thanks,
