Hello, I have an income that needs to be reported on Schedule 1, line 8r (fellowships without W2). How can I do this in TurboTax?

[kharaj]

I think in prior years this used to be reported in 1040 at 1h, but not in the IRS instructions it specifically says it should be reported in Schedule 1 at 8r.

Please follow these steps to enter fellowship income not reported on W-2:

1. Log into TurboTax
2. Click on "Deductions &Credits" (under Federal) in the menu on the left side
3. Scroll down to  "Expenses and Scholarships(Form 1098-T)" and click "Edit"
4. Click "edit" next to the student's name
5. Scroll down to "Scholarships/Grants (for all schools)​​​​​​​" and click "edit"
6. Enter the amount next to "Other Scholarships/Grants/Fellowships" 
7. Answer the follow-up questions.

Please see Are my scholarships, fellowships, or grants taxable? and Why is my Fellowship/Stipend not being allowed to be used for an IRA contribution? for additional information.

Thanks, but I don’t think this applies to my situation. Mine is not a school fellowship. I’m working for a research institute on a fellowship program. I only received a statement of payment, but no official IRS form. Based on 1040 instructions I know I have to put that income on Schedule 1, 8r, but there seems to be no options. The closest I see is to report is as other income such that it goes to the last section of Schedule 1 where I can add a description in a separate attachment to schedule 1 on TurboTax online. Or I can report is as other non W2 or 1099 income where TurboTax puts it in 1040 1h. Do you have any other suggestions?

You’ll need TurboTax CD/Download to enter an amount in Schedule 1, line 8r. This is a manual entry.

See How do I switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax CD/Download?

1. In TurboTax CD/Download, tap Forms in the upper right corner
2. In the left column, in Forms in My Return, tap 1040/104SR Wks
3. Scroll down to Schedule 1, Part 1 and find line 8r
4. Click on the box and tap the magnifying glass that will appear
5. TurboTax will take you to the Schedule 1 Line 8 Other Income Statement
6. Enter your amount on line r
7. Tap Step-by-Step when you are done to return to the interview mode

I see, thanks for the information. I thought there might be a way to do it in the online version.

For what it's worth (I'm not an expert), I think the suggestion from DanaB27 should still work fine if you prefer the online version, even if not associated with a school. I used this method on TurboTax for my wife's fellowship grant, skipping the part where I add a school, and the only effect seems to be that turbotax entered that number of Schedule 1 line 8r. It didn't specify on the actual filing that it was attached to a school or anything like that.

This is an older thread you added on. The online version is fine. Follow these steps to add the fellowship income with a description:

1. Open your return to the federal income section
2. Look under Less common Income
3. Select Miscellaneous, Income
4. Select other income not already reported on a W2
5. Other wages, YES, continue, continue, continue
6. Any other earned income,  wages YES, continue
7. Select Other for Other income, continue
8. Enter stipend/fellowship and amount, done
