    Can F1 be hire as 1099?
    Hello,
    I did two internships with a company that hire me as 1099.
    Im not sure what the process is to file my taxes.

    Can I even be hire as a 1099 having a F1 visa? Or I have to be hire as w2?

    Technically, you are supposed to be hired under a W-2.

    However, since you are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes, it really makes no difference whether you get paid under a W-2 or 1099.

    You DO have to file a Schedule C with Form 1040NR, but you also get to claim some expenses associated with earning that money on the Schedule C that you could NOT claim if you got paid under a W-2.
