If the fellowship is taxable income, it would be reported as "Earned Income" on Line 1 of your 1040, which is the same as income reported on a W2.
Is there more to your situation? Should this be tax-free for some reason?
According to the IRS:
"Whether you must report your scholarship or fellowship grant depends on whether you must file a return and whether any part of your scholarship or fellowship grant is taxable. If your only income is a completely tax-free scholarship or fellowship grant, you don't have to file a tax return and no reporting is necessary. If all or part of your scholarship or fellowship grant is taxable and you are required to file a tax return, report the taxable amount as explained below. You must report the taxable amount whether or not you received a Form W-2. If you receive an incorrect Form W-2, ask the payer for a corrected one. For information on whether you must file a return, see Pub. 501, Dependents, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information, or your income tax form instructions.
How To Report How you report any taxable scholarship or fellowship grant income depends on which return you file. Form 1040 or 1040-SR. If you file Form 1040 or 1040-SR, include the taxable amount in the total on line 1. If the taxable amount was not reported on Form W-2, also enter “SCH” and the taxable amount on the dotted line next to line 1."
