Hello, how do I enter information in TurboTax about a grant received from Fulbright to pursuit a research rather than a degree?

Per IRS guidelines, Fulbright research scholarships/fellowships are treated as income, to be reported on Form 1040, Line 7.

To enter your research scholarship in TurboTax, please follow these steps

Under the Federal Taxes tab, go to Wages and Income;

In the Less Common Income section, select Miscellaneous Income;

Select Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099;

Answer Yes on the Other Wages Received screen;

Continue past Wages Earned as a Household Employee and Sick or Disability Pay;

Answer Yes on the Any Other Earned Income screen;

Select Other on the Enter Source of Other Earned Income screen;

Enter "Scholarship" on the Any Other Earned Income screen. This will report your scholarship on line 7.

For more information about the tax treatment of Fulbright grants, please see https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/fulbright-grants.

Would the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship go at the same place?
