Taxes
If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is receiving fellowship income, travel funds, Hanna grants or other types of non-loan fellowship/grant income, you must file quarterly estimated tax statements. For this type of income, tax payments are due but are not withheld by the University nor reported to the federal government.
If you are a non-resident international student, or if you are receiving funds for assistantships in research and/or instruction, federal income tax is already being withheld and reported. You do not have to file quarterly estimated tax statements on this income.
Instructions for downloading Tax Form 1040ES, including Payment Voucher 4, are available through the IRS website. You may also refer to the next link on our website entitled Guidelines for Paying Quarterly Taxes on Fellowship Payments.
Note: Specific questions on filing taxes should be directed to the IRS (1-800-829-1040), the IRS website and/or an independent agency (i.e., H&R Block)
