Does Northwestern issue W2s or 1099s?
A. Northwestern will not issue a W2 or 1099 for registered students receiving University fellowships, unless you have requested a specific dollar amount to be withheld. In that case, only the withholding amounts will appear, not your total stipend award. It is the responsibility of the student to report appropriate stipend amounts to the Internal Revenue Service. Obtain Publication970, Tax Benefits for Higher Education, from the IRS http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/ or by calling 800/829-3676.
