Education

As Champ Opus 17 explains above -  Any amount of fellowship you received in excess of your qualified education expenses should be reported as taxable income on your tax return.  You can add the amount that was not reported on a W-2, 1099, or 1098-T as additional scholarship income when you enter your education expenses.   This way it will be reported on Line 1 (Wages) with a SCH notation on your Form 1040.   Although, as stated above, it is not considered earned income.  

 

See IRS topic - how to report taxable scholarships and fellowships.
