I have a question about how to find out if a scholarship that was already reported as income on a W-2 or 1099-MISC. My wife is a PHD graduate student and also earns income as a teachers assistant. If amount on box 5 on the 1098T is less than the amount in box 1 on her W2, does that mean that we can check no on the box that asks the aid was already reported as income on a W-2 or 1099-MISC?
If not do we literally have to email the University and if the sum in box 5 on the 1098T was used to pay the sum in box 1 on the W2? Is there any other way to find out? Do we need to report the amount from box 5 on the 1098T that was used for the W2 box 1 income?
