I am not sure how to file my income, as I am a full-time PhD Student in Canada and my pay comes from the university, where I teach as an assistant.

If you are a US citizen/resident, how is your pay reported to you? Is it reported on a form T-4 (Canadian W-2)? Is it treated as scholarship? Is it treated as tuition remission? Something else? How much is it (is it enough to result in a tax liability? Can you be claimed as a dependent by someone else?
