Working as Independent Contractor with J2/EAD

I'm in the US with a J-2 visa and plan to be here for about 5 years (my wife is in a PhD program). My EAD request has been approved (still waiting for the card though).

I own a company in Europe and I work there for several customers as a freelance consultant and trainer. I'd like to replicate my business in the US and already have some prospect customers.

1. Is there anything else I need to work as an Independent Contractor in the US?
2. What I and/or my customers need to do to comply with regulations and taxes?

TIA!
