Was on F-1 visa and worked for an outside company, but did all of my business on campus. Found out this did not count as on campus employment after employment ended (~1 week, commision only). Explained my visa status before getting hired and was hired anyways. Someone in the company offered to pay 80% of earnings as a gift, or 100% but report the income. If I file taxes on it, will it likely be okay? (My total income is under the deductible so I wouldn't pay taxes on it anyways). I have graduated on gone back to my home country and am no longer on F-1 status, though I may want to apply to graduate school in the US in the next couple of years. Any advice?
