How to make sure h1b time is not wasted

[noone2day78]

Hi,

I am on h1b currently and have received my EAD (primary applicant is spouse). I started working on 1099 since monday. Now, I want to make sure that the remaining time on my h1b doesn't get counted after my switch.

Can someone advice what steps to take to let uscis know that i am on EAD? At the same time, do i need to cancel my h1b to make sure that the time on it does not get accounted?

Please advice

I am wondering how will uscis know that i have started using ead?
