Reporting NRSA F32 fellowship stipend not included in W-2

I am a resident alien and a postdoctoral researcher. Last year, my income came from both my university salary and an NRSA F32 fellowship stipend. The W-2 issued by the university does not seem to include the fellowship stipend, as the university does not withhold taxes on it. However, I understand that I am responsible for reporting the fellowship stipend as taxable income. They recommended that I report this myself and consult with the tax preparer. I have not received any other tax forms. 

I have two questions:

1. In addition to entering my W-2 amount in the system, where should I report the fellowship stipend?
2. How can I calculate the fellowship amount? Can I simply subtract FED TAX GRS from TOT GRS on my last pay stub and report the difference as "other income"? Do I need to attach the last pay stub as proof?

Thank you for your guidance.

Reporting NRSA F32 fellowship stipend not included in W-2

1. To report the fellowship stipend follow these steps:

  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 and amount, done

2. Federal taxable gross would be the taxable income. Keep your paystub in case the IRS asks- do not attach it.
