I am working on W2 for a consulting company. My client is willing to pay for my expenses at client place directly to me.

Can I accept checks from client directly.

They are paying from expense account.

Is it OK to accept checks from them while you work for another company on W2 and you are on H1

Please answer my question and help me.

Thanks.

If it is truly reimbursement for expenses (and not shadow compensation) and the amounts are not excessive, then it is probably okay.

The amount is $10,000 . It is for expenses as per my contract. But I am not submitting any recipts.

Is that OK. Or will it get me into troubles??

Thanks for valuable help.

No receipts? Not good, because then the reimbursement is part of a "nonacountable plan".

The IRS would expect that $10K to be reported as income and then you would have to deduct for the expenses, either on a Schedule C (if the $10K is reported on a Form 1099-MISC) or on Foirm 2109 as employee business expenses.

I cannot authoritatively comment on whether the $10K payment will violate provisions of your visa. I don't think so, because the source is your employer's client, but I am not sure.
