Do I need to/how can I report stipends and income paid for a study abroad program?
I participated in an exchange program to Japan for 5 months in 2019. While I was there, I was given a stipend each month for living costs. I also earned some amount of money for tutoring for the University I studied at. I was not provided with documentation for any of this, and I'm not sure what the exact amounts were. All of this money was earned and spent in Japan, so I'm not even sure if I have to report it.
I also used a loan from Sallie Mae to help cover living, travel, passport, and other necessary costs related to the trip, and I don't know if I need to report that money.
I'm using H&R Block's free file and their form 2555 for foreign earned income does not allow me to access parts IV and further. It seems like this form is used for deductions, but I'm not trying to deduct this money. I just need to report it. Or do I even need to report it?
