likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee

I'm not familiar, but those both sound like visas for foreign workers? From the original post, I don't think the developer is living in a western country. I think it's outsourced to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.

Just the tax forms. I should’ve said [sub-] contractor instead of 1099 sorry. Calling a contractor an employee publicly on social media is a hilarious way to owe back taxes but he has no experience with that yet. He just started and thinks he knows everything.

They are tax forms, a W2 is an employee (basically) and a 1099 (usually -NEC) is a contractor.
