Thank you for this information. I worked as post-doc and received stipend. I didn't have federal tax withholding, W2, 1099 forms, and 1098-T for the stipend I received. In my case, can I still follow your steps to enter the stipend I received? Are stipend subject for FICA tax if they are reported on line 1 of 1040 form?
I have seen other answers saying that to report the stipend to "Less common income" --> "Other income not already reported on a form W-2 or Form 1099" --> "Any other earned income". And this will report the fellowship on line 7 of your Form 1040, and will not be subject to Self Employment Tax.
I am not sure which one I should do. Thank you so much!!
