Stipend income - I did not receive a 1099MISC or a 1098T for my stipend income. Is this income taxable?

[IsabellaG · Accepted solution]

Yes, stipend income is generally taxable, even if you didn't receive a tax form for it. To report this income:

1. Go to Federal Taxes>   Wages and Income.
2. Scroll to the Less Common Income section and choose Miscellaneous Income (the last choice). 
3. Choose Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099.
4.  Answer Yes on the Other Wages Received screen.
5. Continue past Wages Earned as a Household Employee and Sick or Disability Pay.
6.  Answer Yes on the Any Other Earned Income screen.
7.  Choose Other on the Enter Source of Other Earned Income screen.
8.   Enter your fellowship information on the Any Other Earned Income screen.

This will report your fellowship on line 7 (wages) of your Form 1040. You will not pay Self Employment tax on this stipend.

is is also okay to put this income on line 21 as Other
Income?

I followed the instruction above, but when I did this, it doubled the amount that I had entered in the box. Why is this and how can I fix it?
