Participation Stipend

[Ashel56]

I received a $60 participation stipend after completing a short training/class through SE Iowa Regional STEM, which is not my employer. I am employed as a preschool teacher elsewhere. I didn’t receive a 1099 or other documents, besides the check stub. Is this stipend taxable? If so, where do I input it on my income taxes?

A stipend would be reported as "Other Income".  To do so, while logged in to your return:

• Click on Federal
• Click on Income & Expenses
• Scroll to the bottom of the "Your income and expenses" page, and click on "Less Common Income" 
• Click on "Show more"
• At the bottom of the page, next to "Miscellaneous Income..." click on Start/Revisit
• Other reportable income - click on Start, then answer Yes 
• Give a description and enter amount of income from the stipend

This amount will also be reported on line 8 of Schedule 1 (Form)
