I was a student from Jan until I graduated in May. During this time, I worked for the University. They provided me with an office, assigned me jobs, deadlines and required so many hours a week. They called this stipend income and issued a 1099NEC. I had no other job during this time and did not own a business or have any business deductions. Can I report this as other income and not do a schedule C and not pay self-employment taxes?
