    1099-MISC on H1B?
    I am working on an H1B, and received a 1099-MISC from a direct-sales company of which I am a registered distributor. The 1099 income is reported as "non-employee compensation". When I file this in Schedule C, can I claim for the expenses that I incurred? Are there any restrictions for H1B?

    Thanks

    Hello durgani,

    I am also in the same boat. I got the 1099-MISC from my ex-employer as 'non-employee compensation' for a total less than $4K. Can you share your thoughts on how to approach this one.. (if you got any feedback from other sources)

    Btw, these are actual worked hours that were wrongly entered as Expenses. I had notified employer immediately at that time and then manager promised to address it. However that manager was terminated and it carried all the way to the end.

    Hmmm.. experts please suggest possible ways to rectify this error from employer ( I prefer not to contact employer)

    Thanks,
    Naradh

    Durgani:

    Yes, you can claim your expenses on Schedule C.

    Naradh:

    You have to rectify it with the employer, because they have to correct the Form 1099-MISC.
