Many students are provided part-time jobs working at their college as part of their FAFSA award. Although this money you earn is intended to ease the financial burden of attending college, the income is fully taxable on your tax return just like any other employment earnings.

When you prepare your tax return, you must include these amounts on the appropriate line for wages and salary. For Work Study program income, Social Security and Medicare taxes may be exempt, but Box 1 Wages on a W-2 are always reported and taxed the same way as W-2s for all other employees
