I had jury duty but had to give my employer the stipend so I didn't keep it. Do I still need to report it?

Yes. You would claim the jury pay as income and deduct the stipend you gave to your employer.

Here’s a TurboTax example: You receive $100 in jury duty pay. You turn that $100 over to your employer, who continued to pay your salary while you were on jury duty. The net gain from your jury duty service is zero ($100 - $100 = $0).

Report both as Other Taxable Income

1. Click Federal in the left column
2. Click Wages & Income at the top
3. Scroll down to Less Common Income. Click Show more
4. Start Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
5. Start Other reportable income
6. Say Yes to Any Other Taxable Income?
7. Enter a description and amount
8. Add another line with the same description. This time put a minus sign in front of the amount so it all works out to $0.

Tax Deductions for Jury Duty Pay and Expenses

[Hal_Al]

In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in  Home & Business)

 - Wages & Income

Scroll down to:

-Less Common Income

      - Jury Pay

TT give you a box to enter the jury pay and a separate box to enter the deduction for the amount you gave your employer.  There are specific lines for both these items on Schedule 1, which TT places them on (8g & 24a).
