Query Regarding F1 to H1

[us2020]

I completed my masters in December 2011 and from Feb 2012 onward I was working with one of the employers on 1099 and I paid the taxes for 2012. In January 2013 I found a new employer and working as full time employee and they filled my H1 and got approval with start date of 1st of October 2013. I wanted to go for H1-B stamping in Canada next month and I do not have any W2 as I will get my first W2 by January 2014.

 

Will this be an issue for stamping as I do not have any W2 from the previous employer ? Appreciate your suggestion on this.

If you have worked on 1099 the whole of 2012, You should have been given a form 1099-MISC by your pervious employer and I hope you have paid taxes based on income shown on it.

So carry that document(1099-MISC), which is equivalent as W2, as no employer will give a W2 if you areworking on 1099.

 

 

But, wait for the experts as well give their advice on this.

Yes. I paid the taxes as per 1099-MISC form given by the previous employer.. Pls advise.

On OPT, a 1099-MISC is fine. Just show that when asked.
