I am a research fellow in the US on a
stipend. I am a J-1 visa holder. In 2018, I was a non-resident for tax
purposes. My stipend is subject to tax, but it is not considered income. My
stipend is administered through an educational institute in Tennessee, but i
live in Georgia. I do not pay social security or medicare taxes. I definitely
pay federal taxes and they are withheld from my stipend. I am not clear,
however, if i need to pay state taxes? These are not currently withheld from my stipend.
