With that said, the professionals here at Tax Alternatives want to reach out to all our valued clients and assist with all those scholarship tax questions and concerns
IS IT TAXABLE?
Most people are unaware of the fact that they may need to report a part of the scholarship monies awarded them to the IRS. Not all of your scholarship monies are taxable which is why it is so important to reach out to the team here at Tax Alternatives to handle your upcoming tax filings. There are specific guidelines to adhere that would make your scholarships nontaxable including, attending a college or institution for purposes of seeking a degree as a full time or a part time student. In addition, scholarship monies that are used to pay for tuition, enrollment fees, or books and equipment required for your up and coming courses are not taxable as well.
However, scholarship monies used for room and board, research, materials not specific to your college courses, or even travel must be reported to the IRS. As a matter of information, if your scholarship money is, in fact, your only source of ‘income’ then students do not need to report their scholarship monies or even file at all. There are a number of different forms that can be used for filing your taxable scholarship monies including a 1040 form, 1040A form, 1040EZ form, 1040NR form or a 1040NR-EZ form. The form used will be dependent upon your individual tax and income scenario.
