@Henry34 Hi Henry. Thank you so much for providing this information for me. In fact, I appreciate you providing me with Publication 901 which definitely sets a clear precedence for excluding the fellowship income. It does say you are exempt from U.S. tax on amounts received from sources outside the United States for the individual's maintenance, education, or training.
Normally, unless the fellowship income wasn't used for educational expenses such as books and tuition, the fellowship income would not be allowed because living expenses and health insurance are not considered educational expenses. However, in this instance the term maintenance would allow you to declare living expenses and maintenance as also being exempt. Based on this, my taxable opinion is that this fellowship income is not taxable income.
Good luck in your graduate studies and future endeavors. Thanks again for sending this to me.
