I have been on OPT since 1st Jan 2009.
I started working for a company in California on 1099 from May 2009 to July 2009 during which I made somewhere around $5000. And from July 2009 to Oct 2009 I worked on 1099 for some other company during which I made somewhere around $15000. I have not paid any tax yet.
Now, few days back the company that I worked for in California sent me a W-9 form to fill. I don't know if I need to fill in this form.
I have been looking all over the internet for sometime now and what I have discovered is that I need to fill form 1040NR and Schedule C. So do I need to tell my California employer to send me that form?
Kindly help. I am very confused.
Thanks in advance.
