As a medical student in a Midwest state. But I did summer research/seminar presentations in new York for stipend of $3200 for a hospital. They have not given me any tax documentation. I do not have any other income. I do receive loans to pay for tuition for med school in the state where my college is located. I don't know where and how to report this $3200 of stipend/scholarship from New York. Also, would I also have to do taxes for New York or for the state of my college? Thanks in advance.

You will need to report this a self-employment income.  You can claim expenses as deductions from this income, such as travel expenses and lodging costs.

You do not need to file a NY tax return as your gross income is less than $8,000 (if you are single).

What state do you live in and I can check the filing requirements for that state.

I go to school on Michigan. Just a clarification- can I claim the stipend as miscellaneous income or self employed income is better way to do it? Thanks in advance.

You need to claim it as self-employment income if you were paid for your seminar presentations.  According to Michigan, you should file a Michigan tax return if you file a federal tax return.
For Michigan : File a return if you owe tax, are due a refund, or your AGI
exceeds your exemption allowance. You should also file a
Michigan return if you file a federal return, even if you do
not owe Michigan tax. This will eliminate unnecessary
correspondence from Treasury.

Hello, I just want to clarify this topic further.  I am a student and the research was done as a medical student doing summer research & payment by hospital was done as a stipend. There was no tax form generated by them however.

Also, when I tried to add this self employment income. it is asking for so much information and I actually do not have any expenses for that since New York is my home state. So should this be claimed perhaps as a stipend/scholarship and if so where exactly on TT can I claim this?  I already have a 1098-T with loan & minor scholarship listed there on the form. I hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks.
