I am a physician doing j1 waiver , on H1b visa. I am employed by a private group. The hospital pays 25000 dollar as a policy to new doctors over three years as signing bonus. In 2004 the hospital paid me 6000 dollar , but they sent me 1099 misc which I accepted and also showed on my tax refund. I had no clue about its affect. This year they again sent me 1099misc of 12000. what should i do? Please advice. Thank you.

As far as you are getting money from your sponser pay check and 1099 you are OK.
However you must show it in yout tax return and apy your tax.

Some time you can ask them you include in the paycheck it self mentioning line item as bonuses.
