Working as Indepedent Contrctor under CPT (Curricular Practical Training)

[Flor1an]

Hello everyone,

I am working part-time under CPT, but my employer hired me as Independent Contractor. I just figure out by doing some research online that I can't work as Independent Contractor under CPT. I started on January this year and the company didn't deduct taxes yet from my paychecks. They told me I should pay them at the end of the year. My question is how I can fix this, and would it be an issue when I apply for OPT since I will be graduating this coming december?

I would appreciate deeply your help guys,

- Florian.
