I did a research job at a university for the summer. Received a single lump stipend. They sent no paperwork, no W-2 or 1099. How do I report this?

Scroll down to Less Common Income and click Show more

Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C and click Start

Scroll down to Other reportable income and click Start

“Any Other Taxable Income?” screen click Yes

“Other Taxable Income” screen type   Stipend   into the Description box

Enter the amount into the Amount box and click Continue



To enter your stipend in TurboTax  follow these steps

With TurboTax open select  Wages & Income click on I'll choose what I work on

Scroll down to Less Common Income and select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C

On the next page select Other reportable income 

On the page Other Taxable Income enter AmeriCorps Segal Grant in the description

 

 This will put the income on Schedule 1 Line 21 of your 1040, as required by the IRS.  You will pay state and federal income tax on the amount, but it will not be subject to self-employment tax.
