Unless your visa restricts it, I would recommend you set up an LLC (which can be owned by non-citizens) and make sure your online contracts are water tight.

I have experience in this area if you wish assistance.Your income would be taxable, but there are many deductions when you have an LLC which are taken on your personal return.
