I’m working as a 1099 independent contractor in a small LLC.

I am on initial OPT which ends in July and looking to apply for stem OPT. Would like to know is the stem OPT only eligible for W-2? Should I ask my employer to switch me to W-2 ? Or my current 1099 contract is eligible already?

Please let me know
