To qualify for the IRA contribution, two things need to happen in TT. 1. The taxable scholarship should show up on line 8r of schedule 1 (so that it is identified as scholarship/stipend "compensation"). 2. You must identify yourself as a grad student. This usually happens by checking the grad student box on the 1098-T.
Starting in 2022: During the IRA contribution interview, you will get a screen "How much of the taxable Scholarship was for Graduate or Post-Doctoral Studies". You will need to enter the amount that applies to it here.
