If the stipend is considered compensation for services while you’re in school or for services you’ll provide in the future, it is taxable. In other words, if you had to do work in exchange for the stipend, it is taxable.
If anything was reported on a W-2, it is taxable.
If your scholarship exceeded your "qualified education expenses" for tuition, fees, books, or required equipment and supplies, it is taxable. Taxable scholarship amounts include scholarship money used to pay:
- Rent or board
- Utilities
- Other expenses not listed as required in your college program
