Hey all,
So I FINALLY received an offer this year for Clinical Psych PhD program (neuropsych) - I cannot be happier! This is my 3rd year applying, so everyone rest assure the time comes!!!
I am offered a wonderful package of 100% tuition waiver and a yearly stipend. The first year is a fellowship and does not require I perform an services as a condition (i.e. RA, TA...), and the next years I will receive the same amount or more and serve as an RA/TA/etc.
My question is what portion of this is taxable? The letter with the offer said the school won't remove any taxes and to make sure I know what I'm responsible to withhold myself... I assume the tution waiver is not taxable, but is the stipend/fellowship?
I know tax rules change every year if this has been asked before...
