My wife who is on a H4 just received her EAD. Is it possible for her to work as a freelancer or independent contractor?
Thanks for any information.

she can

she can work anywhere or on her own on EAD. Just for the travel purposes she will need AP once EAD is used.
 
Not related to immigration but maybe you have some thoughts....I guess for tax purposes she will follow the general tax rules as followed by any independent contractor and her EAD status does not require anything special. Is that correct?
 
correct

With the EAD, you can get the SS#. So, EAD has nothing to do directly, but helps to obtain SS# which you can use for employment or independant work and subsequently to file the taxes.
