Work for IT specialists on a tourist visa

I was wondering whether it's physically possible for an IT professional to work in the states on a tourist visa via some own registered american company?
No SSN, nothing. Just registered american company with the EIN.
What are the options? Thanks.

Tourist = Someone on holiday

Options are pretty simple - read up in B1 on travel.state.gov or uscis.gov. Otherwise - it is generally known around IT what is legal.

One cannot work in the USA without a work permit, which is usually granted and sponsored by the Company you wish to work for.

Best option ,since you are in the IT Field, look for a company who could match your credentials and qualifications etc,

If they are interested they could obtain a work visa for you.

Its called H1B visa.

The H1B visa classification permits a foreign national to work in the United States for a temporary period. It is available for offers of employment that are in a specialty occupation*. A person may hold H1B status for a maximum of six years, and it may be issued in increments of up to three years by the USCIS.

Once you are able to get this accomplished, you may be able to obtain your ssn etc.
This would be the best option, under the current Emigration Policy. Any thing else would be foolhardy.

All the best
