Hi All

I just had a very distraught student come in to my office.  He is receiving
a federal fellowship stipend.  He was told by the awarding agency that it
is
not taxable.  H&R Block did his taxes last year and told him that it was
not
taxable.  He received no 1099 or other forms indicating that he needed to
pay taxes.  He just received an e-mail from his program officer saying that
his stipend is, indeed, taxable.

If anyone has had experience with this, I would appreciate any insight you
can give.

THANKS,
Marie
