I am a graduate student receiving a stipend from a scholarship/fellowship payment. How do I get federal and state tax to be withheld?
If you are receiving a stipend from a scholarship/fellowship payment, these wages are not reported on form W2 and are not used to calculate federal and state taxes to be withheld despite their taxability. You will need to complete a federal and state W2 listing exactly how much tax you want to be withheld in the additional withholding field. More details and the tax forms are on our personal tax information page. You will not want to forget to change your W4s back to zero additional withholding if your position changes to a graduate assistant.
