As a doctoral student, I am given a stipends that is derived from the college where I work. However, there was an issue that prevented the college from promptly disbursing all of my wages to me and as a result, part of my wages had to come from my boss's private research grant. This caused me to receive a W2, which reflects the majority of the wages I earned, and a 1099-MISC, which reflects the balance that the college was supposed to pay me but instead was paid to me by my boss from his research funds. Considering what I have read about the types of income that are traditionally reported on a 1099-MISC, I will say that I am not a freelancer; the wages reported on the 1099-MISC were monies that were paid to me as a doctoral student employee of the college.
So my question is:
In addition to my W2, do I still need to file the 1099-MISC or should I be filing an 8919?
