Hi,
I am a Canadian citizen. I work full-time in the US under the TN status. My wife is on TD visa.
We were exploring some opportunities of online consulting available on Elance.
My understanding is we can have only one W2 income from one company under one TN status. If we want to simultaneously work for another company, we require an additional TN with the other company. In addition to the W2 income, you can have multiple 1099 incomes – i.e. you can have multiple bank accounts, get returns from stocks, earnings from gambling/lottery etc at the same time.
Could you please confirm whether the above statements are accurate?
Would online freelance consulting be considered a 1099 income given the facts that it has been advertised from outside the US, doesn’t require W-9 and can even be advertised by an individual rather than a corporation?
If yes, I wouldn’t require another TN status for this type of work and my wife can also work on it (as it wouldn’t violate the TD visa rules). Could you please confirm that this statement is accurate?
Thanks a lot for your help & assistance in this regard.
