Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Irrespective  of when you get paid, what is to be considered  ( and restricted ) is when the work is done.  Thus if the work was completed before the adjustment of visa status, then the earning applies to that F-1 status.    The  H-1B work visa is limited to  and for the benefit of the sponsoring entity  -- you cannot leave that employer  and be compliant with the conditions of the visa.     I am assuming from your non-response as to when you entered the country  with F-1 and  that you were on an extension for OPT, that you must have already  outlived your  five calendar year exemption  for counting days present towards  substantial presence  --- so you probably are  going to be a Resident Alien for tax purposes during 2019 and therefore file a form 1040.  Note that TurboTax does not provide support for  1040-NR   ( they generally refer these to their partner SprinTax for such filing ).
