State tax filing

Q.  For 2020, I lived in KY the entire year.

A.  A college student normally reports stipend/scholarship income to his home state, not the state he goes to school in.  In you case, KY appears to be both for 2020.  File a KY return.

 

Q.  How do I report my stipend? Under miscellaneous income or under other scholarships or both? 

A.  Simple answer: Scholarship. Either would be OK, but scholarship is usually best, particularly if you are under 24.  After entering your 1098-T, you will be aske if you had any scholarships not shown on a tax form. Enter there.  When asked how much, of your total scholarships,  was used for room and board, enter the stipend amount (plus any other grants used for non qualified expenses)
