Can I work without work authorization?

I have h4 visa, I live in US for 3 years. I am studying accounting and taxes (I have master degree in other field and working experience in my country). I took training classes for tax preparation and they will offer me a job soon. Can I work with my previous status? They may offer form 1099, should I agree? Will this become a problem when I will be obtaining my green card?

Not a problem if your employer sponsers you, or if you apply for a work visa and are given one.
Even if you do get a work visa and someone to sponsor you for it you still need to file an I-765 for a work permit. My husband came to the US on a work visa and he still had to file for a work permit and file other forms as well.
you cannot work in h4 status. you will violate your visa status. the employer that offers you this job must sponsor your h1b visa.
Exactly what 2128haha says: you can not work as an H-4. If you want to work, youi need your own H-1B. Any chance your attached H-1B will be getting a Green Card that you can follow on? If you work without authorization, yes, it can negatively affect your later Green Card application.
Consult a lawyer of your own, don't rely upon the free advice.
