Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@casiegel , as I understand from Euro Commission site , the stipend  is really to defray the cost of living  in the country.  Thus  for a US citizen/ Green Card holder, this income would be looked upon as a stipend  paid to you and is income that is taxable.   However, because you are having a foreign tax home  ( if you are staying abroad for more than 330 days total in a continuous 12 month test period, then this income would be eligible for  foreign earned income exclusion.   From Euro-Union site it appears the session starts in October and so you will have to be abroad  till atleast  Oct of 2023 to be able to file a 12 month test period to establish foreign tax home.

Does this help ?   If you need more , then please provide your immigration status  ( US citizen/ Green Card  or ? ), how long is your trainee period expected to be , which country  ( Belgium or ? ) etc.
