Hello!
I am about to start an internship and they will give me a 1099 form (I'm unsure which one but maybe a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC). I am under a student visa (F1) and have the approval for off-campus employment via Curricular Practical Training (CPT). However, I've been here for quite a bit (working on my PhD) and file taxes as a resident. I was wondering if this is alright given that a 1099 would qualify me as a contractor rather than an employee. During the school year I am hired as a teaching assistant and get a W2 for that work.
Is this alright? Can someone give me some guidance? Greatly appreciated :)
