Hi,

I'm a bit confused about self-employment regarding TN. I've been on w-2 payroll on TN with no problems but I do want to apply for a 1099 contractor job. I'm a healthcare worker and I want to join this group of other clinicians who see patients independently, for counselling services where patients pay per session I believe. Would that be considered self-employment? If not, would the job offer letter required at the boarder differ from the w-2 one?

Thank you so much in advance!
 
Self-employment is allowed under TN, so long as you otherwise meet all criteria and your client sponsors you. It is self-sponsorship that is not allowed, So your client would write the TN letter, and outline the work and financial arrangements.
