H-1B Tax Issue

[cool_balayya]

Company A is holding my H1B and i am working thro' them. There is another comapny 'B' for whom i offered some serive and they paid me some money on thier company cheque (they paid it directly to me, not corp to corp). I have deposited that money. I wanted to know if that is fine or if there is an issue with that. My other questions are, a) if they dont give me 1099 at the end of the year can i pay that tax (since I am not on their H1) and i they dont, how does it work

Thank You,

BalaKrishna

This is not fine. It is a violation of H1B. You can only work for Company A and get paid only by company A.

Legally, they have to give you a 1099. I don't know how you will handle this, if there is a query.
