This would be considered taxable income since it was not used for eligible education expenses.
You would enter it as Other Income by taking the following steps:
The other answer is not incorrect. It will put the income on line 8h of form 1040 (Other earned income).
But, I believe stipends should be reported as taxable scholarship. As such it should be entered in the education expenses and scholarships section (under deductions and credits, instead of income). After answering no to having a 1098-T, answer yes to qualifying for an exception (that gets you to the entry screens). You will have to go thru the whole education interview to get to the scholarship screen. At the scholarship screen, enter the amount of the grant. When asked if any was used for room and board, answer yes. Then enter the amount you want to be taxable (usually all of it), in the pop up box. R&B are not "qualified educational expenses". So, this is how you tell TT that it is taxable. Note the wording at that screen “or other expenses”. You didn’t have to literally use the scholarship for R&B. This will put it on line 8r of Schedule 1.
