>if you read my answer, it should have been obvious what I meant. That the income is not taxed by the person paying the 1099. Especially for someone living in India, he doesn't have to worry about US taxes. Are you an engineer or a cpa?

Hello John,

I read your answer... :)

IMO, non-taxable was a poor choice words. You might have missed that he said he was here in the US now, and I wanted to make sure that he understood that it is taxable.

CPA? No. Degree with emphasis in accounting, 4 years as a tax preparer.
