I have a 1099-G the only box that has anything in it is a box 6 but there is not a place to add this information in Turbo Tax.

If your grant is taxable, enter your 1099-G Grant in TurboTax as follows:

  1. Select Federal from the left side menu and Wages & Income from the top tab.
  2. On the Your income screen, scroll down to Other Common Income, Other 1099-G Income and Start/Revisit.
  3. On the Government Payments (1099-G) screen, select Yes and Continue.
  4. Continue with the onscreen interview until complete.

Per IRS: You must include in gross income:

  • Amounts used for incidental expenses, such as room and board, travel, and optional equipment.
  • Amounts received as payments for teaching, research, or other services required as a condition for receiving the scholarship or fellowship grant. However, you don't need to include in gross income any amounts you receive for services that are required by the National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program, the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship and Financial Assistance Program, or a comprehensive student work-learning-service program (as defined in section 448(e) of the Higher Education Act of 1965) operated by a work college.
